Living Tall: March 18/19
In The Pearl’s theatre-in-the-round space: Two plays in two weeks! One (Living Tall) by acclaimed theatre artist and teacher, Ker Wells; the other (Darwinii: The Comeuppance of Man) by playwright Glen Berger and performer Brett Keyser.
Living Tall: 2 PERFORMANCES ONLY: Friday and Saturday, March 18 & 19 at 7:30pm. $15 at the door. Acclaimed
theatre artist and teacher, Ker Wells, presents this absurd comedy veering into existential crisis. Salesman Jeffrey Weaver’s presentation is going smoothly as he guides his audience through the steps of “Living Tall,” his high-octane and delightfully strange motivational program for increasing sales and earning respect in the business community. But Weaver can’t escape an incident that haunts him and threatens to knock him seriously off-message. “Killer-Funny…with a mind-blowing performance by the amazing Ker Wells…”
Living Tall is an original three-way creative collaboration between veteran theatre artists Ker Wells (performer) and
Karin Randoja (Director), and Cleveland writer Michael Geither.
Ker Wells: A recent immigrant to Hamilton, Ker was a founding member of two of the companies at the forefront of Canadian physical and devised theatre: Primus Theatre (‘89 to ’97) and Number Eleven Theatre (‘98 to ’05). He has trained, performed and taught across Canada and in the U.S. and Europe, and is a returning guest faculty member at the National Theatre School of Canada, and the Humber College School of Performing Arts. Ker has just returned from a 6-week collaboration with U.S. and Mexican artists in Guadalajara, Mexico; a premiere of this new work, entitled Exilio, will occur in New York City in December. In May, Ker will premiere a new solo performance, Swimmer (68), in Toronto.
