Thursday night my wife and I took our two youngest, 7 & 10, to see Double Dare Live at the Historic and Beautiful Akron Civic Theater, and what a fun night out!  It was a smaller than expected crowd, as addressed by Marc Summers at the beginning of the show, but that actually worked out well for many, as Summers directed everyone in the Balcony to come down to the main floor, which they gladly did.  There must have been about 100 kids and adults that participated in a variety of "Physical Challenges" that ranged from simple 'frisbee toss' games to some pretty messy ones, like the 'catch an egg and smash it on your own head as many times as possible in 30 seconds'.  that was the first half of the show, then it was time to watch two families play the game just like on TV, with 2 rounds of questions, dares, double dares and more Physical Challenges resulting in the "Red Team" winning the chance to go to the Obstacle Course and even though there may have been a missed flag along the way, they still won the Grand Prize of the night: $1000 in cash!  

My boys were a little disappointed that they didn't get picked to participate, but it was still a fun, nostalgic and entertaining night for the entire audience.  I hadn't been to the Civic in years and forgot how amazing it is in there, we are lucky to have this Gem here in the Rubber City, so if you haven't been in a while, go to a show and get reaquianted with this Historic venue!  I hope to have some pics up on my Facebook Page for you to check out a little later today... after a nap of course.
