State Theatre presents the international percussion sensation STOMP on Friday, January 15, 2016 at 8pm and Saturday January 16, 2016 at 2pm and 8pm. STOMP is part of the
State Theatre Family Series, made possible by Bank of America. Tickets range from $35-$75.
From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an international sensation over the past 20 years, having performed in more than 50 countries and in front of more than 24 million people. STOMP has appeared on numerous national television shows and continues to receive rave reviews from audiences everywhere.
Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, STOMP continues its phenomenal run with four global productions: the ongoing sell-out production at New York's Orpheum Theatre, a permanent London company, and North American and European tours.
STOMP, an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards, and sell-out engagements, is the winner of an Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London's Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a
Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays.
In addition, STOMP has received an Academy Award nomination, four Emmy nominations and one Emmy Award for their acclaimed HBO special Stomp Out Loud, noteworthy TV appearances including The London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, The Academy Awards (produced by
Quincy Jones), Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and a series of award-winning international commercials.
STOMP has created its own inimitable, contemporary form of rhythmic expression: both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists. It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum.
Synchronized stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra, eight Zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses everything but conventional percussion instruments—dustbins, tea chests, radiator hoses, boots, hub caps—to fill the stage with a compelling and unique act that is often imitated but never duplicated.
