Awakening Brings Wow Factor By: Dianne Davis / That’s Entertainment Awakening at the Wynn is an 80 minute dazzling production with the Wow factor. You will find yourself immersed in a mythical world where the heroine and her somewhat comedic helpers are on a quest. They must confront the forces of Darkness to bring Light back to the world. Through their adventures, Awakening explores the relationship between Light and Darkness. But this show isn’t about plot. This spectacular five star presentation is a treat for all your senses with every element that you want in a Vegas production. With 1,600 seats, (the farthest 75 feet from center stage) every seat has an unobstructed view. This is theater at its finest with groundbreaking technology, incredible sound, a talented cast, original music, and multiple levels of action. The choreography maximizes the visuals that fill the 60-foot 360 degree prismatic rotating stage. The 300 costumes are colorful, creative, and unique. The dance includes multiple variations. Creatures come down from the top of the room, sometimes animatronic figures sometimes imagery - the result of lighting and other unimaginable technology. The large-scale puppetry has audience members wondering whether they are seeing a robot, person, illusion, or video. The original musical score balances tone and vibe. No earplugs needed, but you hear everything clearly thanks to the custom sound system at every seat creating a 3-D sound effect. Comfortable padded assures that vertically challenged people sitting behind six-footers can still see everything. The outstanding cast of 60 includes dancers, singers, acrobats, and magicians, plus puppets and projected characters. Beyond the dancing, are gyrations on the flexible balance beam, baton and fire twirling aerial gymnastics. There’s magic and extraordinary creatures that will take your breath away. The show holds the kids’ attention along with all others. Awakening is a modern age theatrical experience with the most advanced technology, incredible physical facility, and talented performers. It’s Las Vegas! There are locals’ specials until the end of September - tickets starting at $79 and VIP packages. Call 702/770-4469. Mention SUMR<strong>23</strong>. Tickets can be purchased at Awakening.com or visit the Wynn Box Office.

By: Gayla Kalp / Life is Laughter was with a good friend and she started I comparing how her husband treated her before and after her marriage. I told a Tech Support friend and he sent me this analogy of marriage from a Tech Support point of view. Dear Tech Support: Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, Personal Appearance 8.5 and Personal Hygiene 7.0. He installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0, and Girls Gone Wild 7.5. Sadly Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 and Taking Out The Garbage 4.0 simply crash the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 and Sweet Talk 7.2 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed: Desperate Tech Support Response: First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is a “Limited Entertainment Package”, while Husband 1.0 is a 20 Dear Tech Support September 20<strong>23</strong> “Permanent Operating System.” Please enter command: I thought you loved me .html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download Snoring Loudly Beta version. Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources. In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0. Signed: Tech Support Gayla is a speaker, author, psychologist and humorist. She also happens to be Ms. Sr. California, Nevada and Universe England.
