"Huntington Presents"
Series
Brings Comedy and Stars to Town
Screen and stage star Campbell Scott,
stand-up comedienne/monologist Judy Gold, Boston
actress and playwright Rebekah Maggor, and internationally
acclaimed performance artist Ennio Marchetto comprise
the Huntington Theatre Company’s 2007-2008 “Huntington
Presents” series to be presented at the Stanford Calderwood
Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts.
Huntington Artistic Director Nicholas Martin commented,
“This series complements the Huntington’s regular season
and allows us to bring a wider variety of voices and performances
to Boston. ‘Huntington Presents’ shows are perfectly suited
to the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA, where the connections between
performers and audiences are especially intimate.”

“Ennio!”

Marilyn Monroe morphs into Marilyn Manson, into Edith Piaf (at left)
at lightning speed. Eminem's rapping becomes Gloria Gaynor’s
wailing in the blink of an eye. A world of celebrity icons new
and old unfolds as the original quick-change artist Ennio Marchetto
turns origami into hilarious, family-friendly theatrical magic.
This international sensation has not been seen in the Boston area
since 1994!
