Emmy Award winning screen and stage actor Anthony Zerbe returns to the UTC Fine Ars Center this season to captivate you with his nationally acclaimed performance in It’s All Done With Mirrors ... an avalanche of E.E. Cummings. Zerbe provides joyous access to the art and energy of one of America ’s most beloved poets. Here again are the Cambridge ladies who “live in furnished souls;” the defunct blue-eyed Buffalo Bill; the comic love duet of “he-said, she-said;” and the mesmerizing voice from the circus high wire in him. Zerbe moves pell mell through a parade of characters, accents and dazzling word plays capturing in perfect moments Cummings favorite subjects ... Paris , New York , the mOOn, Spring, first loves & the Circus! Like Cummings, Zerbe is an accomplished raconteur and his asides and anecdotes recall a time when conversation was considered an art form. It’s All Done With Mirrors is an uncommon mix of theatre and salon.

A poet of both joy and satire, E.E.CUMMINGS (1894-1962), along with James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and William Faulkner, is one of the progenitors of the modern movement in literature. He manipulated language and typography to offer new ways of presenting poetry on the page.
