We are pleased to invite you to a special presentation by Pittsburgh mime artist and Chaplin expert Dan Kamin, who trained Robert Downey, Jr. for his Oscar-nominated performance in Chaplin and created Johnny Depp’s physical comedy routines in Benny and Joon. 

Dan will introduce Charlie Chaplin’s Red Letter Days. This newly discovered eyewitness account reveals what was going on behind the scenes in Chaplin's fun factory as he was creating the hilarious comedies that rocketed him to worldwide fame. Written by Fred Goodwins, one of the actors in the company, the breezy narrative originally appeared in 1916 as a series of thirty-seven articles in the British magazine Red Letter.  Its republication marks a major find for cinema buffs and anyone who has ever been touched by Chaplin's artistry.  Dan annotated the book to highlight its many revelations about Chaplin and the familiar faces that populate his films.  In his talk, illustrated with colorful images, music and video from the period, Dan will reveal the backstory of this fascinating excursion into the private world of Hollywood’s first superstar.

Through a collaborative, nonlinear songwriting process, duo partners Jenny Wolsk Bain and Gary Crouth draw from personal experiences, third-hand stories, and vivid imaginations to craft songs that are unpredictable and quirky yet widely accessible. Their CDs have gotten radio play on stations across the US and around the world.
