Description
A globe-trotting performer with multi-week shows at the Sydney Opera House and appearances on The Tonight Show comes to Middlebury, Vermont!
Robots! Magic! Slapstick! And tons of audience interaction.
Mario the Maker Magician (Mario Marchese) is a New York-based, high-energy stage show blending DIY robotics, comedy, and theater. The show centers on handmade, often faulty robots and encourages kids to be creative, resourceful, and curious about science and making. No one leaves empty-handed or empty-hearted.
Arrive early! Join us at 11:30 AM for Science Magic! An Open House Maker Pop-Up in the Center for Learning & Engagement. Led by Carol Buzby, this free, hands-on workshop explores the "magic" of light, color, and optical illusions, and is the perfect primer for the Mario show at 2:00 PM. Registration suggested.
