HerniO: Stories of Strains (11-14)

A man with a moniker and a dream, Oron previously performed "Minne-O-polis" at BLB and returns with his new one-man show "HerniO: Stories of Strains." Oron will be exploring physical strains, emotional strains, and political strains through songs and stories spanning composers as varied as Taylor Swift, Cy Coleman and Maltby/Shire, and characters including presidential candidate Deez Nuts and Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis. The incomparable Joey Clark joins on piano.
