No Show

with Doug Berky

Doug Berky’s “No Show” is a memorable mix of music, clowning, improv, and circus arts.

“No Show” begins with the premise that a performance has been scheduled, and the stage is set with props and costumes. The audience is 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? Imagine one’s first attempt at riding a unicycle, discovering theatrical masks, juggling clubs, and a sousaphone. Can one keep rhythm juggling shakers while playing classical music on harmonica? Experiencing “No Show” may satisfy your curiosity.

Doug Berky has created and refined his brand of physical theater for more than 30 years. He is known internationally for his mask construction. He designs the masks for his performances and creates all the sets, choreography, scripts, and many of the costumes.
