Tap the magic of your own mind when hypnotist Evan Gambardella comes to the West Plains Civic Center theater for a 7 p.m. performance Dec. 6.

The event is sponsored by the University/Community Programs (U/CP) Department at Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP).

Tickets are $10 each and available through the civic center box office. Students with a BearPass ID will be admitted free.

A rising star

“Our past hypnotists have been huge hits, and we’re excited to bring a rising star in hypnosis to West Plains,” said U/CP Theater and Events Coordinator Hannah Salvesen.

Gambardella presents a funny, fast-paced and tastefully designed show that generates positivity and wonder through audience participation and mind-blowing hypnosis, organizers said.

As one of America’s youngest leading impact entertainers, Gambardella has performed in all areas of the United States and around the world, wowing spectators by using the untapped magic of their own minds.

“Evan’s show is quickly becoming a must-see experience,” Salvesen said. “It’s the perfect way to blow off end-of-semester steam and the stress of holiday preparations.”
