BOB BERKY IN A FOOL'S FEAST, ST. JOHNSBURY
Saturday Dec. 7 4:30 PM St. Johnsbury School. World-acclaimed clown Bob Berky has been known to speak through a kazoo and mime a hell-bent ride on a motorcycle. He may amble out on the stage wearing camouflage and goggles to spy on imaginary birds or get tangled up in pushed buttons, pulled switches, and misconnected wires in a loopy battle of man vs machine. Berky’s antics are infectious, impertinent – and lots of fun.  He has coached Michelle Pfeiffer and Gregory Hines—and performed at major theaters in London, Paris, Hong Kong, Edinburgh, Buenos Aires, and Montreal—and at Lincoln Center, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Kennedy Center, and The Smithsonian.
