SOUTH BEND — American Theatre Guild presents “Stomp” at 7:30 p.m. April 2 at the Morris Performing Arts Center, 211 N. Michigan St.

Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, “Stomp” creates a unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy.

Both household and industrial objects — supermarket carts, plumbing fixtures, paint cans, Zippo lighters, stiff-bristlebrooms — find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists.

It is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum.
