Terry Fator - Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice

Sunday, April 19, 2026 @ 7:00pm



Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC)
30 North Van Brunt Street, Englewood, NJ 07631

THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Legendary Las Vegas headliner Terry Fator has created a new road show to kickoff his 2025-2026 tour.  Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice is a 90 minute spectacular, featuring the incredible impressions, comedy and ventriloquism that has made Terry and his characters a must see show for fans across the nation.

“Pure Imagination is a totally different concept than my road shows in the past,” Fator said. “I found that throughout my life my imagination had spawned countless characters, song parodies and comedy skits and I compiled them all together to give my audience a fun look into my creative psyche.” 

The show features the classic characters Terry has made famous over the years: Winston the Impersonating Turtle; Country Star Walter T. Airdale; Apollo Theater legend Julius; perpetual slacker and stoner Duggie; Vikki the Cougar and the world’s greatest Elvis impersonator, Maynard Tompkins. 

“One idea I had is to add in characters and impressions based on real-life stars people around the world know and love,” Fator said.  “So you can look forward to seeing and hearing Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, plus a few surprise ‘guests’”. 

Simply put, Pure Imagination is Pure Entertainment for audiences across the country.
