"It’s a little like Buster Keaton meets the Keystone Kops!" says CSC’s general manager Catherine Rust, of the acclaimed physical comedy work of the company Parallel Exit. Their presentation of Exit Stage Left celebrates the era of great vaudevillian physical comedy, blending theater, movement and music into works of physical theater designed to transcend age, language, and cultural barriers.

Veteran of screen and stage, the acclaimed actor brings the poetry of the iconoclastic e.e. cummings to life in a powerful one man show.

Anthony Zerbe is an American stage, film and Emmy-winning television actor. Notable film roles include the post-apocalyptic cult leader Matthias in The Omega Man, a 1971 film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, I Am Legend; Milton Krest in the 1989 James Bond film License to Kill; and Rosie in The Turning Point. He has starred in two TV series, appeared in over 30 films and numerous Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. In It's All Done With Mirrors ...damn everything but the circus, poet e.e. cummings captured the beauty of the natural world while skewering the perversity of the human one. Anthony creates an uncommon, intimate evening of theatre moving through a parade of characters, accents and dazzling word play.


Synonymous with the innovative theatre movement of the 1960s, the "black-box" space provided a canvas for a variety of different genres, designs and exciting theatrical experimentation. Centenary Stage Company celebrates the best of the movement with its own "Black Box Festival", Nov 3-20th, featuring three distinctive productions, highlighting theatricality in sound, lighting, the spoken word, and physical comedy.
