JUST BREATHE: THE QUEST FOR PEACE OF MIND… AND LAUGHS

A Night of Comedy, Music & Masterful Ventriloquism ... And a chance to give back to the gulfport community. Proceeds support the Gulfport Senior Center Renovation and Expansion Projects begining in 2026.

📍 Hickman Theater 5501 27th Ave S Gulfport | Saturday, March 28

Award-winning ventriloquist, actress, and singer Lesley Smith returns to Gulfport with her one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that sold out last year!

This hilarious and heartwarming show blends comedy, music, storytelling, and extraordinary puppetry into an unforgettable evening of laughter, resilience, and pure joy.

With seamless improvisation and theatrical flair, Lesley brings to life the humor, struggles, and triumphs of everyday existence — giving audiences permission to laugh out loud, reflect deeply, and rediscover their sense of wonder.

This is laugh-until-it-hurts, feel-good human comedy at its best — reaffirming hope, love, and the healing power of live performance.

✨ If you need a night to unwind, recharge, and JUST BREATHE… this is it.
