RATING: PG-18 (mature audiences)
COMEDY @ The Waterhouse welcomes the hilariously understated comedian ROCKY LAPORTE. Opening up for Rocky from WEEK’s “You Gotta Eat” is EDGAR SANDOVAL!
Rocky LaPorte’s appeal comes from his everyman, streetwise style of comedy. Delivering laughs in his trademark Brooklyn accent, he has become one of the most sought after comedians in the country having accumulated a slew of performances throughout his career, including being a featured comic on Showtime‘s The Godfathers of Comedy, a special starring five of America’s most hilarious Italian-American comics. On the big screen, he has been seen in two Tim Allen movies – Crazy on the Outside and The Shaggy Dog.
Rocky traveled with Drew Carey to Iraq to entertain the troops and was seen on the Showtime special Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie. Rocky has filmed his own Comedy Central Presents special and was voted the network’s second most popular comedian in a nationwide poll. He has performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, appeared on A&E‘s Evening At The Improv, VH1‘s Stand-Up Spotlight, sitcom appearances on Cheers, and even had his own NBC pilot called the Rocky LaPorte Show.
Rocky is currently working often with the stellar Ron White and has opened for the likes of Garry Shandling, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Louie Anderson, Hootie and the Blowfish and the Righteous Brothers, just to name a few.
Admission is $25pp and seating is reserved. The bar will open and seating will begin 1 hour before the show at 6:30p with the show starting at 7:30p. The show will last approximately 90 minutes.

Join in the fun APRIL 22, 2024 for an INTERACTIVE Celebration of Water!
Join local legend Garry Moore and storyteller Brian “Fox” Ellis with special guests the Peoria High School Drumline to explore the many ways that water connects us all.
Bring your rhythm and voice and join us in the songs and stories of water. Help us create a wave for celebrating the ways in which water connects us to all life. Participate in a Parade of Waters: Each school brings a small water sample of their source water supply to participate in the Parade of Waters. A student representative from each school will go on stage to pour a water sample from their community and announce the school and the water sample source. Interactive graphics will pin the location and show the path that this water normally takes to the ocean.
The Clean Water Celebration is the world’s largest clean water festival and has become a model for other water festivals across the country.
“Since 1994 Sun Foundation in partnership with Illinois American Water has provided participants of the Clean Water Celebration a look at water from many perspectives,” said Navigating Committee Chair, Karen Zuckerman. “They interact with scientists, artists, community college and university instructors, government agencies, conservation groups, youth activists and come away with not only how important water as a resource is and actions that they can take to care for it, but the many career paths it supports and why science, technology, engineering, art and math are among the skills needed in these fields.”
The 31st Clean Water Celebration takes place Monday, April 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Peoria Civic Center with an emphasis on educating local students, grades 4 -12, their teachers and the community as a whole. The event is free for all. Participants may choose from presentations on green initiatives, sustainability and conservation, storytelling, STEM and STEAM activities and interactive, hands-on exhibits.
Free and open to all, registration for schools and groups is required to ensure seating. School and group registration can be found https://www.sunfoundation.org/clean-water-celebration-school-group-registration. Members of the public can attend without registering and a walk-in schedule will be available the day of the event.
Teachers are encouraged to make the Clean Water Celebration a field trip as all parts of the event meet Illinois Learning Standards. For questions contact Karen Zuckerman at 309-231-7451 or email [email protected]. Funds are available to assist in school transportation costs.

Welcome to the annual neighborhood BBQ! The year is 1955 and what a great year it’s been… so far! Everyone always looks forward to the annual BBQ; it’s a time to relax, meet new neighbors, and catch up with old friends. No matter what the occasion, there is always bound to be a little neighborly gossip and drama. A storm is brewing at this neighborly gathering, and there may not be any more “Happy Days” in this neighborhood! This is a fundraising event for Chillicothe Players Theatre. Please show your support.
