Brian Sanders’ JUNK is known for their ingenious use of found objects and clever inventions that bridge the gap between dance and physical theater. Sanders’ choreography blends traditional dance theater with an inventiveness and physicality that gives reason for critics to hail JUNK as “Philly’s most imaginative perpetrator of dare-devilish physical theater” and declare Sanders as "the city’s most exciting choreographer."

 

JUNK’s mission as a dance-theater company is to inspire with creativity. The company strives to produce work that is both artistic and accessible while maintaining a ceaseless desire to try new things. Through original productions and community outreach JUNK seeks to serve as a catalyst for generating fresh ideas and to encourage us to see the world in a new and vital way.

 

Returning with its 2nd annual production for spring, this program tells the story of how Sanders’ got his funny bone in a 90-minute revue style show caught somewhere between Lawrence Welk and the Gong Show. Starring a troupe of 6 acrobatic dance artists, the program is a running display of the troupe’s most humorous work taking an irreverent look at life, love and the pursuit of happiness and all the humor and pain that comes with it.

 

"My Funny Bone" welcomes audiences to experience what critics have called, "exquisite beauty, slapstick humor, and gasp-inducing feats of derring-do . . . " Philadelphia Inquirer.

Ninety minutes of non-stop laughter! If you ever longed for something, If you ever desired it with all your heart, If you were willing to wait tables for 29 years to pursue your dream then My Son The Waiter will give meaning to your Life!

 

The show is Actor/Comedian Brad Zimmerman's hilarious and inspiring story about the grit and passion required to 'make it' as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up on your dream. Specifically, Brad moved to New York City and "temporarily" waited tables for 29 years, while continuing to pursue his dream of comedic acting. He never gave up and many years later, he's opened for Joan Rivers, Brad Garrett and the famed George Carlin and now has his own touring show that is as profound as it is entertaining.
