Sept. 28  Toying With Science with Garry Krinsky

Physical entertainer Garry Krinsky kicks-off the University of
Hawai`i at Hilo Performing Arts Center’s 2016-17 season with a
high energy celebration of all things science with Toying with
Science on Wednesday, September 28, at 7 pm.

It has been said that Krinsky resembles a living cartoon with his
animated movement and non-stop energy. He was an original member
of the Boston Buffoons, co-founder of the Patchwork Players, and a
member of The Wright Bros., a New England vaudeville troupe.

Toying with Science explores the scientific principles of gravity,
leverage, fulcrums and simple machines. Combining circus skills,
mime, original music, and audience involvement, Krinsky
investigates basic scientific information and delves into the
imaginations of scientists who explore our world. He brings his
science toys to life with motion, music, humor and insight. The
performance is suitable for audiences of all ages.

“Mr. Krinsky created his Toying with Science program, originally
commissioned by the Museum of Science in Boston, in 1995 and has
since been touring it across the U.S. and Canada to rave reviews,”
said Performing Arts Center Manager Lee Dombroski.

Tickets are reserved seating and priced at $15 General, $10
Discount and $7 UH Hilo/Hawai’i CC students (with a valid student
ID) and children, up to age 17, pre-sale, or $20, $15, and $12 at

at 932-7490 or ordering online at
