World-class Illusionist and mentalist, Morgan Strebler, is set to perform 3 shows, 6 days a week in peak season at the new Pat Boone Family Theater beginning August of this year.

The theater's opening was first annoucned in January 2010. But a slow economy delayed the opening, until officials announced last week, that renovations to the theater had final begun.

Glenn Milligan, CEO of Liquid Metal Productions, said, "It did take us a while to get here. But we're here. Our families are here and our children will be going to your schools. We are here for the long haul."

The Pat Boone Family Theater is currently begin renovated at a cost of $5 million and will yield a stunning, state-of-the-art, 600-seat theater where only 50 feet will seperate the back row of the audience to the stage.

Pat Boone, who recently turned 77 this Wednesday, is expected to perform a minimum of 14 days per year, along with performances from his family.

When shows are over for the day, the theater's Illusions Ultra-Lounge will open for adults looking for a sophisticated and quite atmosphere. Guests will enjoy gourmet refeshments, cocktails and coffees. If they choose, dancing will be available to the "Music of Our Lives", a variety of recognizable and well-loved musical artists from across the decades who will perform. Over 100 artists have committed to the theater through Boone's own record label.

Those looking for a more intimate experience can reserve a VIP room, where dining selections will be served in an upscale living-room atmosphere with a private television.

Milligan believes that the Augus topening date, which Pat Boone will attend, is on target.

Show pricing is currently listed as $24.95 for matinees and $34.95 for evening performances. Children's tickets will run $6.95-$8.95.
