The Young & Fun Experience with Stephen Gratto

Feats of daring bravery & side-splitting foolishness!

A FREE summer series for our youngest audience members.

The Young & Fun Performance Series is dedicated to bringing the best entertainment for all ages to Lake Placid.

There is no charge for any Young & Fun performance. Seating is first come, first served so we cannot guarantee availability. We recommend arriving early, and/or making a backup plan in the event that we fill the theatre and cannot admit any more audience members (for example, enjoy our outdoor playground and then head to Simply Gourmet or Stewart’s for a snack!).

Stephen Gratto
Feats of daring bravery & side-splitting foolishness!

New York State School Superintendent by day, Stephen Gratto moonlights as a physical comedian and much much more. His performances are fast-paced and exciting displays of many classic vaudeville and circus skills including juggling, unicycling, rope walking, object balancing, and many other feats of daring, bravery, and side-splitting foolishness.

The high point of each performance is invariably the audience participation. Almost every portion of the Stephen Gratto Variety Show involves audience volunteers, both young and old. This continual interaction keeps everyone involved and laughing. Stephen is truly a jack of all trades and a master of many.
