FEATURES VIRTUOSO MIME MICHAEL COOPER
STONINGTON-Michael Cooper, an eye-popping visual artist and virtuoso mime, will appear at the Stonington Opera House on Wednesday, August 5 at 7 p.m. This one-man extravaganza creates "moving sculpture," combining beautifully handcrafted masks, original stories of courage and wonder, outlandish stilt dancing and a physical repertoire that ranges from the madcap to the sublime. Cooper performs as part of Opera House Arts' Live for $5 Family Theater Series. The six week long "Live! For $5" Wednesday night series consists of hour-long, live performances designed so that all family members, regardless of age, can enjoy live theater for the same price as a movie. Each show is followed by a Talk Back session with the artists.
$5 tickets for all LIVE! For $5 Wednesday night performances are available only at the door beginning at 6:30 p.m. Live! for $5 is made possible with the generous support of the Whitman Family Foundation.
