The Cherokee Civic Theatre in Rusk is gearing up for the first Sip & See event of 2019, an event that promises to be a magical night.

Magician Grant Freeman is back in town for a one-night, adults only magic show on Friday, Jan. 18.

The ‘sips & nibbles’ part of the event will begin at 6:30 p.m. with wine and appetizers in the theater’s annex, 157 West 5th Street, Rusk. The ‘see’ portion of the event will begin at 7:30 p.m. with Freeman wowing audience members with his slapstick comedic magic show.

Advance tickets are just $20 and are available online or at the CCT Box Office Wednesday, Jan. 16 through Friday, Jan. 18. Box office hours are 3-5 p.m.

Tickets can also be purchased at the door the day of the event beginning at 6 p.m. Ticket prices at the door are $25.

This show is not recommended for children and is geared towards audiences age 21 and over.

Grant strives to create modern performances that propel the ancient art of conjuring into the new millennium. When asked how he got into magic, Freeman said he began learning magic from local professional magicians in the seventh grade and he was able to meet and learn from some of the best and most experienced magicians in the world.
