Jamie Adkins: Circus Incognitus

Maui

Saturday, January 21:
Jamie Adkins:  Circus Incognitus.
  Virtuoso clown, Jamie Adkins, is the vulnerable everyman who has just written a terrific show.  He wanders onto stage with the new show in a box, delighted to find the audience ready and waiting.  Knowing he has just the thing, Jamie struggles to build the scene around him using everyday objects. Things go awry as his props prove most unhelpful.  An expert at comedy born of desperation, Jamie’s performance is humble and unguarded. Adkins deftly escorts the audience along his poetic journey with sidesplitting wit for audiences of all ages. Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Castle Theater, 1 Cameron Way, Kahului. 7:30 p.m. For tickets and information call (808) 242-7469 or visit http://mauiarts.org/.
