How does a hapless tour guide juggle a Senator’s lofty legacy with his litany of sex scandals? That’s the riddle at the heart of the seriously funny new solo show, The Honorable Herbert Peabody. It’s the opening day of the Honorable Herbert Peabody Library and Legacy Center, and a well-intentioned tour guide named Joe encounters an increasingly disgruntled tour group and a new understanding of his own actions. As the tour unravels, Joe must decide if he will continue to stand idly by or finally stand on the right side of history.
Kirk’s work uses the power of humor, and clowning-inspired performance to create work that speaks to the very survival of the human spirit by exploring how our flaws and follies unite rather than divide us. The Honorable Herbert Peabody is a solo show that blends political satire and urgent social issues offering a unique theatrical experience that inspires the audience to engage in an honest dialogue about creating a culture shift in eliminating social and gender inequality.
