About the band: The Judy Page Project

The Judy Page Project features Peoria’s renowned jazz vocalist Judy Page. Her dynamic alto voice conveys the beating heart of a song and leads the audience to feel it also. Judy’s diverse set list will encourage all to dance. Since the age of 15, Judy began her career singing all over the country, even doing a stint as an “Ikette”, while traveling with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue at the early age of 17.

About Artrageous:

Artrageous is a troupe of misfits artists, singers, dancers and musicians who started as friends doing street theatre in Vancouver. Together they started the “All and Everything Theater”, a non-profit Children’s Theater focusing on Children’s Entertainment, Street Theater and Life-sized Bunraku Puppetry.

In the late 80’s on Christmas Day, their hand built theater building, with all their props and puppets, burnt to the ground. Instead of packing it in, they created a new act; this troupe has performed for the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Steve Forbes, General Colin Powell… and in venues and events all over the world from India to Thailand, Paris to Austria performing at over 2000+ events in their History.

As people who live and breathe the Arts, Creativity, Community, and Inspiration, they created Artrageous to pay tribute to their roots and share their passion with the world. A Show that focuses on all the things they believe in and everything that got them to this place. Art, Music, Theater, Singing, Dancing, Audience Interaction…All on one stage. All done as a team of friends seeing the world and sharing a love of the Arts.

Imagine witnessing the creativity of an artist creating a masterpiece before your eyes in mere moments. Combined with captivating vocals, intricate choreography and exciting music, Artrageous takes you on a visual journey and a high energy ride of inspiration, creativity, and engagement.

Our troupe of artists, musicians, singers and dancers pay tribute to a variety of art forms, icons and musical genres throughout the evening. The result ~ A uniquely entertaining, Masterpiece show culminating in a gallery of fabulous finished paintings.

A signature of the Artrageous Troupe, from the very beginning of their long history, is interaction and engagement…so be prepared to be a part of the show. Each show is as unique as each audience and we can’t do it without you!
