Henry the Juggler

Artist / Creative (Individual)

A zany attempt to defy the laws of gravity, Henry Lappen tries the impossible, and sometimes succeeds! He juggles any number of objects and balances strange items on the tip of his nose. He is silent on stage, using mime and gesture (and road signs!) to communicate. Each show is filled with comedy and loads of audience interaction. A free juggling workshop follows the performance, where participants can try some of what they have witnessed. This show is excellent for ALL ages. Henry can perform outdoors or in; at festivals, schools, libraries, recreation departments, private parties, corporate functions, holiday events, etc.

     Henry the Juggler is a professional.  He has been seen by tens of thousands up and down the East Coast - at theaters, schools, libraries and festivals.  He has been performing for almost 40 years.  He studied physical comedy at California's Dell'Arte School and continues his development with classes in tango and yoga.  He is an active member of the International Jugglers' Association.  His website is www.HenryLappen.com.
