Bernard Bragg Launches Spring/Fall 2011-12 Multi-City Tour
Renowned actor, mime, and storyteller, Bernard Bragg, is performing, “MY WORLD STAGE”, a new show about the mistakes, misadventures, and accidents that take place while performing. Watch him tell how he ad-libbed his way through them, managed to sidestep, correct, cover up, pull through and finally made it to the curtains triumphantly, bowing to applause with a big wide grin on his face. And how these can apply to life, too
His performances will benefit each city twofold: To entertain, as well as to help raise funds to support a deaf community cause in each city chosen by each hosting organization.
