Anthony Zerbe presents one-man show at Hayes
Center March 21
Special to The Mountain Times
Actor Anthony Zerbe will
present his one-man show based on the life and work of
e.e. cummings at the Hayes Performing ARts Center in Blowing
Rock on Friday, March 21. |
The iconoclastic American poet e.e. cummings once said, “There’s
a hell of a universe next door. Let’s go.” In It’s
All Done With Mirrors, actor Anthony Zerbe’s one-man show
based on the life and work of the famous wordsmith, Emmy Award
winner Zerbe (Lt. Trench in the TV series Harry-O) knocks on that
door and barrels through, exposing the world of the unconventional
poet in a mesmerizing, one-man tour-de-force. Moving quickly between
dramatization and interpretation of cummings’ works, Zerbe
peels layers from the mystique of an artist who was dubbed “part
P.T. Barnum, part William Faulkner.” Don’t miss this
mesmerizing evening of theatre when the Hayes Performing Arts
Center presents the nationally acclaimed Anthony Zerbe in “It’s
All Done with Mirrors” for one night only, March 21 at 7:30pm.
Its title taken from cummings’ play Him, Mirrors has been
hailed by critics as “a delicious evening of theater”
(San Diego Union) and “the art of acting honed to a FINE
point” (Los Angeles Times), with the distinguished actor
trotting out a parade of characters, accents (from an urban tough
to a western wiseacre) and wordplay to capture cummings’
favorite subjects: Paris, New York, the moon, Spring, first love,
the circus.
Since the late 1960s, Zerbe’s prolific career has spanned
television (The Young Riders, Gunsmoke, Mission Impossible, Murder,
She Wrote), movies (Papillon, Cool Hand Luke, License to Kill)
and theatre (from Broadway — Terra Nova, Solomon’s Child,
The Little Foxes and Moon Besieged — to off-Broadway to leading
resident theaters across the country).
