Physical entertainer Garry Krinsky will bring his Toying With Science show to the Big Island on Wednesday Sept. 28 in Hilo, and on Saturday, Oct. 1, in Kamuela.

Krinsky kicks off the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Performing Arts Center’s 2016-17 season with a fast-paced, high-energy, fun-loving, varied and dynamic program on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

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.

Science-based toys are brought to life with motion, music, humor, and insight. Krinsky impresses upon his audiences the idea that by mastering simple scientific concepts, one can produce terrific results!

The performance is suitable for audiences of all ages.

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.

“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 US and Canada to rave reviews,” said Performing Arts Center Manager Lee Dombroski.
