Performance at 1pm
Recommended for ages 4 & up and their families
Ty-Rone and his friends have traveled throughout the country, sharing their family-friends comedy. As a 7-year old, the Richmond native was very impressed by watching a television performance by famed ventriloquist Edgar Bergen. He told his parents that he wanted to become a ventriloquist. His parents took him to the library to check out books on ventriloquism. Those books opened up a whole new world of reading.

Before long, Ty-Rone’s reading teacher was so impressed by his new attitude toward reading and learning; she offered him a chance to put on a ventriloquism show for the whole school in the library...
