GARDINER — Michael Trautman will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, at Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center on Water Street. Doors open at 7 p.m.
Michael Trautman has his “Head in the Clouds.” Where else would he come up with the inspired looniness that he presents in his solo theater performance?
“Head in the Clouds” is Michael’s full evening show, lasting up to 90 minutes with an intermission, the show is comprised of Trautman’s finest works developed over a career spent performing and touring around the world.
From his signature clown routine revolving around far too many things to do with ping-pong balls to his latest character creation King Pong to his manic run-in with the IRS to his humorous and deeply touching story about the keys collected throughout the lifetime of a gracefully aging grandfather, Michael brings a delightful array of eccentric characters to life in a theater performance that is not to be missed.
Inspired by the developing mediums of film and television still in the hands of vaudeville and variety artists, Trautman has embraced a style of performance that requires an artist to hone the associated physical skills that most effectively astonish audiences in live performance.
All seats are $8 for adults and $5 for youth. Tickets are available at Johnson Hall’s Box Office from 12 to 3 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday, at 582-7144 or by visiting www.johnsonhall.org.
