Silents Are Golden - A Celebration of Silent Cinema
Great Family Entertainment - Fri. March 11, 7 pm
This is a full evening one-man show, an entertaining and educational lecture lavishly illustrated with a dazzling array of clips from 100 silent film comedies and dramas! It is a celebration of the art of physical actingwhat Marcel Marceau called the "silent language of the soul"seen through the lens of silent cinema.

Silents are Golden stops here in Port Townsend for one night only, Friday March 11 at 7 pm while on national tour.

Rob's intention is to shed new light on the acting style of the silent era, while giving modern audiences a fresh and entertaining look at what made the silent stars shine so brightly. "I love presenting this program," says Mermin. "I have taken this show to several countries, and it is like bringing adults to the circus for the first time in decades, and watching a childlike wonder and delight return to their faces."

"A Visual feast!" said The Green Mountain Film Festival

"A brilliant evocation of the silent screen era and a loving homage to its stars," agreed the University Theater, Galway, Ireland
