PIGEON FORGE, Tenn.—Dollywood’s new Adventure Theater welcomes master ventriloquist Kevin Johnson July 27-Aug. 1, the last performer in a summer-long series of family variety shows during the park’s annual KidsFest celebration.
Johnson is most recognized from his 2006 appearance on NBC’s primetime show America’s Got Talent. Along with his comedic talent, Johnson brings to the stage of cast of characters, including his “bird friends” Clyde, Matilda and Harley, the latter a tribute to his grandfather. Johnson uses several different variations of ventriloquism, from an audience participant becoming one of his puppets to a magical drawing board coming to life, for a show that thrill adults and children alike.
Johnson performs four shows daily through Aug. 1 in Showstreet Palace Theatre. All shows are included with park admission.
“For my new Adventure Theater at Dollywood’s KidsFest, I’ve invited some of the most popular and entertaining comedians, jugglers, clowns, ventriloquists and magicians that you’ll see anywhere this summer,” Dolly Parton said.
Dollywood’s KidsFest continues through Aug. 1 with the award-winning Penguin Players, Journey to the Center of the Earth 4D™ Experience, fun-filled character breakfasts and more. More information is available at Dollywood.com or by calling 1-800-DOLLYWOOD.
