Rochester, NY (04/07/2017) — The Nazareth College Arts Center is proud to present Chris Perondi's Stunt Dog Experience on Saturday, May 6, 2017, at 7 p.m. in the Callahan Theater. Paws down-this all-ages show could be the most doggone fun Rochester families have ever had!

Local dog rescue groups, including Lollypop Farm/the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, will share information about their organizations in the Arts Center lobby beginning at 6 p.m.

THE PERFORMANCE

Since 1999, the two- and four-legged cast of Chris Perondi's Stunt Dog Experience has delighted audiences of all ages with some of the most incredible stunts ever performed, including big air maneuvers, comedy antics, dancing, juggling, agility feats, and a one-of-a-kind black-light routine. The talented and lovable stars-all rescued from pounds and shelters, and trained using clicker and toy motivation-have been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, numerous Animal Planet productions, NatGeo Wild, and more.

Perondi started training dogs as a hobby in 1996. Within three years he had created his first show-which he performed at San Francisco 49ers home games-and by 2000 he and his dogs had been featured in Sports Illustrated and on Monday Night Football. In 2009, Perondi debuted his Stunt Dog Experience stage show, starring a fan-favorite official mascot, Diggy the Dog.

To date, Perondi and his dogs have entertained audiences of all ages at more than 8,000 live performances. With audience participation at every performance, on-stage showdowns, and a chance to interact with some of the performers, Stunt Dog Experience is one of the most popular live-animal shows in North America.
