Mime comedy Theatre


It's comical storytelling. Masterful mime. Compelling music and hilarious puppetry. Quite simply, Trent Arterberry's Think Bigg is something kids love—and adults won’t want to miss!

By turns, Arterberry fills the stage with a collection of intriguing characters. Roboman discovers the limits—and extraordinary reaches—of his own body. The Sports Hero displays his athletic prowess to the strains of the theme from Rocky. The three-foot-tall human puppet, Mr. Bigg, dances to a dizzying medley of musical styles from rap to Russian folklore.

Through it all Arterberry's remarkable physical skills and irrepressible playfulness alternately inspire waves of laughter and amazement. There's drama, comedy, subtle lessons and outrageous fun in Trent Arterberry’s Think Bigg.trentart@mac.com
