STOMP makes its triumphant return to the Kravis Center on April 20-22. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. 

The smash hit STOMP is at The Kravis Center Friday April 20th at 8pm, Saturday April 21st at 2pm and 8pm and Sunday April 22nd at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Kravis Center Box Office, 701 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, online at www.kravis.org, by phone at (561) 832-7469 or (800) 572-8471 or by logging on to www.stomponline.com.www.stomponline.com

More about STOMP Out Hunger:

STOMP has made it its mission to partner with food banks across the country to STOMP Out Hunger. The show began its quest to reduce hunger in North America with a partnership with Philabundance, the Philadelphia region’s largest hunger relief organization, in December of 2007. The producers were looking for a way to give back to the community and with the timing of the holidays the partnership was a natural one. However, due to the current economic climate including high unemployment rates and state budget cuts, hunger organizations have seen an overwhelming demand for food assistance. As such, STOMP has dedicated itself to bringing attention to the heightened needs of food charities across the country all year round by sponsoring canned food drives and donating ticket proceeds in as many cities as possible. Cities in which STOMP has conducted a STOMP Out Hunger campaign include Philadelphia, PA,  Calgary, Canada, Peoria, IL, Detroit, MI, Toronto, Canada, Jacksonville, FL, Orlando, FL, Aurora, IL and Honolulu, HA, just to name a few.
