Michael Zerphy's "Bedutzed" in collaboration with his daughter Olivia brings the life of a guy from Lancaster, PA into a wonderfully alive, humorous, heartfelt solo performance. Michael has a magnetic presence that immediately puts his audience at ease. Without us knowing, he skillfully prepares us to come along on the journey as he shares personal stories and memories, weaving in songs and dreams that radiate into the space. I loved being surprised by Zerphy's seasoned and natural ability to tell such funny stories, and to be a true clown who can seamlessly navigate a complexity of emotions. He is masterful and so is Olivia's influence as the director. I could feel the collaboration of younger and older generations create a meaningful dialogue. Even though Olivia is not in the performance, her voice is heard. Zerphy's performance has stayed with me, transcending his singular voice, to create a shared experience touching everyone in the room. What a joyful, human work!
