DOUG BERKY'S GEMS: THE WORLD'S WISDOM STORIES

Mon, June 16, 2025 | 11:00AM & 1:00PM

Doug Berky presents stories from around the world by weaving together many art forms into a full-stage, large-mask theater production with clever and creative costuming. Masks, puppets, mime, drama, comedy, music, and storytelling are integral elements that help the audience experience these treasures of wisdom. Classic collections such as “Aesop’s Fables” from Greece and the stories of Hans Christian Andersen from Denmark have inspired and educated the world’s young people for years. Also included in the performance are stories from lesser-known collections of folklore and mythology from Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and Native American cultures.



DOUG BERKY'S "NO SHOW"

Tue, June 17, 2025 | 11:00AM & 1:00PM

“No Show” is a comic tapestry woven from physical comedy, mime, music, mask theatre, clowning, improvisation, and circus arts. Doug draws from these vast traditions to delight audiences internationally and across the US. “No Show” begins with the premise that a performance has been scheduled: the stage is set with props and costumes, the audience has gathered, seated, and waiting, but the actors are a no-show. What might happen when someone from the audience approaches the stage and discovers all that awaits? Masterful mayhem? Perhaps. Imagine one’s first attempt at riding a unicycle, the discovery of theatrical masks, juggling clubs, and a sousaphone. Can one really keep rhythm juggling shakers while playing classical music on a harmonica? Experiencing “No Show” may just satisfy your curiosity.
