On Saturday March 22nd, they can also savor the sweetness of performance with Piti Theatre Company’s 5th annual SYRUP: One Sweet Performing Arts Festival at a favorite Pioneer Valley venue - Memorial Hall in Shelburne Falls.
Piti Theatre Company presents another delicious potpourri of theatre, music, clowning, syrup tasting, food and . . . free pickles.
This year's headline performer is Avner the Eccentric who lives on an island off the Maine coast when he is not touring the world with his one man show 'Exceptions to Gravity.' Avner, a master of physical comedy, was recently inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame, has won numerous awards, and is perhaps best known as the Jewel, the scene-stealing holy man, in 'Jewel of the Nile' co-starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. His show 'Avner the Eccentric' was a hit of the 1984-1985 Broadway season.
Festival Line up:
