Clear Lake’s New Standing Ovation Theatre Hosts Magician Robby Bennett For Its Inaugural ‘Artist In Residency’ for 2025
In addition to a very respectable 2025 season line up of in-house plays and outside events for their premier year, Clear Lake’s new state-of-the art Standing Ovation Theatre will be home base to Magician Robby Bennett as he prepares material for a new touring show and presents regular performances at the venue. With this newly established ‘Artist In Residency‘ program, with Bennett being the first to hold the position, Standing Ovation adds to its commitment to supporting performing arts of all types in the area.
Magician Robby Bennett started performing professionally at the age of twelve, after being ill with a debilitating disease for two years, and started building his corporate clientele the following year at the age of just thirteen. He has also performed from The Las Vegas Strip to New York and almost anywhere you can imagine, including East Africa. Bennett brings an unapologetic wit to his performances that sets him apart from his contemporaries and makes his amazing skills that much more unforgettable. From being a sick kid in bed, Bennett has positioned himself as magic's “leading man” and takes the stage with a presence and skill set that has left many audiences on their feet in applause.
Robby has been able to maintain a steady performing schedule at corporate events, private parties, universities, theaters, banquets, and charity events since he was in middle school. Currently Robby performs regularly at different events and theaters all over the country and is considered by many to be one the top performers in his field.
"Robby Bennett is a young performer breathing new vitality into an old art form and engaging audiences with a renewed sense of wonder. The young Texan is pushing the boundaries of peoples' expectations of a stage magic show, and is someone worth seeing live while he performs locally. [...] His approach helps to restore a sense of mystery to the proceedings, since modern audiences demand more than they might have in the past." -HOUSTON PRESS
