Australian acrobatic troupe Gravity and Other Myths is set to perform its “Ten Thousand Hours” show at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, at the Eisenhower Auditorium.

Presented by Penn State’s Center for the Performing Arts, the show features eight acrobats and a musician exploring the practice, persistence, and teamwork behind mastering physical skills.

Live percussion will accompany the performers as they demonstrate how those skills develop through repetition. The production gives audiences a look at the work behind complex acrobatic movements, highlighting both the performers’ strength and the trust required to work together.

“The funny, amazing, next-level acrobatic event is a do-not-miss performance,” Amy Dupain Vashaw, the center’s assistant director of programming, said in a news release.

Tickets cost $14 for University Park students, $52 for adults, and $19 for attendees aged 18 and younger. Student ticket prices are supported by a grant from the University Park Fee Board.

Tickets are available through the Arts Ticket Center website, by phone at 814-863-0255, or in person at Eisenhower Auditorium.

Attendees can avoid a $4 fee by purchasing tickets by phone or at the auditorium’s ticket office, which is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.

KultureCity has certified Eisenhower Auditorium as a sensory-friendly venue. Guests can access a designated quiet space on the lounge level and borrow items such as noise-reducing earmuffs, anti-strobe glasses, lap pads, and other sensory tools.

The KultureCity app also offers a pre-visit social story to help attendees familiarize themselves with the venue before arriving.
