The Amazing Bubble Factory brings the amazing art of bubbles to life right in front of the audience’s eyes! A self proclaimed Bubbleologist, Jamie’s brand of humor and showmanship both excites and entertains the crowd as he creates thousands of bubbles. Producing bubbles from the size of a pea to the size of a minivan, The Amazing Bubble Factory brings everyone back to their childhood regardless of age.

The Amazing Bubble Factory Shows are performed in a turn of the century “medicine man” theme with live music, bells, fast talking, audience participation, smiles, laughs, and of course Bubbles!

Tickets can be purchased online or in-person at the Opera House Box Office.
