Shield
& Yarnell , the famous team
of T.V. fame and international stardom, have reunited after
an absence of seven years. These two vibrant performers, whose bodies
shout acrobat, dancer, and gymnast are best remembered for their
highly successful CBS TV "SHIELDS & YARNELL SHOW
.
The Shields & Yarnell team
was born on the streets of San Francisco where Shields was plying
his craft as a mime, getting slugged, hassled and arrested four
times while showing people themselves - a clearly dangerous
act but one which made him the top tourist attraction after
the cable cars. Lorene Yarnell, already a veteran dancer/actress
from numerous television shows and off-Broadway musicals, gave
up her successful career to join this funny man/clown. What
followed was an entertainment phenomenon.
Their dancing and flawless mime brought
them instant fame and subsequent appearances on and over 400
national TV shows, including the "MUPPET SHOW" and the
"TONIGHT SHOW." Highlights of their meteoric career
include their own Broadway show, performing for two Presidents,
a command performance for the Queen of England, and a tour of China
with Bob Hope. They have performed in concert halls throughout the
world.
Their performance in a TV special written
by Shields, "TOYS ON THE TOWN," earned them an Emmy
award. Other awards garnered by this dynamic couple include the
Las Vegas "Entertainer of the Year," dual Georgies
for "Rising Stars of the Year" and "Special Attraction
of the Year" from the American Guild of Variety Artists.
Today the SHIELDS and YARNELL SHOW is still
an outrageous kind of side-splitting controlled insanity, incorporating
all the artistry from the past along with newer concepts - the
use of voice-overs, soundtracks and sound effects, all produced
by Shields. With elasticity, unlimited invention and boundless
energy they enter into a fantasy world, sweeping you along with
them. Their gift is magic!
