MACOMB/MOLINE, IL. — Western Illinois University's Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts will host STOMP at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, in the Great Hall.

An international touring sensation, STOMP makes its first-ever stop in Macomb, bringing an explosive, inventive and entertaining performance for audiences of all ages.

The eight-member troupe creates an unforgettable experience using everyday objects instead of conventional percussion instruments. Matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, lighters and hubcaps become instruments in a high-energy celebration of rhythm, sound and movement.

The internationally acclaimed production has earned numerous awards and rave reviews and has appeared on several national television programs. As The Boston Globe says, "If you haven't seen STOMP, GO! If you have seen it, take someone and share the pleasure!"

Join WIU for this special performance and celebrate the inaugural season of the Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts.
