An educational activity set designed to give your children an edge in concentration and focus
ifocus is a complete, wholistic approach to brain development based on neuropsychology – sometimes with initial results in as little as 4 to 5 hours. ifocus uses neuropsychology to teach children the skills they need. Neuropsychology combines research in brain development and behavior to provide children with important lessons (focus, behavior, nutrition and fitness) all aimed at building healthy, happy kids. But ifocus knew that no educational activity would succeed if children weren’t engaged. So, they created Jungle Rangers, a riot of color, fun and responsiveness that children actually WANT TO PLAY. www.FocusEducation.com

Direct from London. Danny DeVito and Judd Hirsch together again for the first time on stage. The laughter hits the ceiling when Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Danny DeVito joins Tony Award® and Emmy Award winner Judd Hirsch to tear it up in this outrageous new production of the Neil Simon classic. At the pinnacle of Vaudeville, Al Lewis and Willie Clark were the undisputed Kings of Comedy before splitting unceremoniously. But when CBS attempts to re-unite the legendary double bill for a once-in-a-lifetime television special, the shtick hits the fan when old grudges begin horning in on the act.
