DC Benny Hosts Storytelling Series at the ZLOCK Performing Arts Center

The ZLOCK Performing Arts Center (Zlock PAC) has announced a brand new monthly storytelling series starting on Friday, February 24, at 7:30 pm and will run through April 28. The legendary DC Benny will host this storytelling series with co-host comedian Marc Kaye. Benny and Kaye will tell their own stories of "Resourcefulness" while introducing and highlighting fellow storytellers who otherwise live in the world as comedians, authors, professors, and actors. With the series premiere on the 24th, featured storytellers include Missy Hall, Susanne Sulby, Stuart Carrol, and Raysa Santos. Other themes and storytellers for the remainder of the series through April are TBA.

All tickets for the new Storytelling Series are $10.00 with free parking. In addition, BCCC students receive free tickets when a current student ID is presented. The Zlock PAC bar will be open an hour before the show, offering a variety of craft beer, wine, and non-alcoholic refreshments. More information can be found at: http://www.bucks.edu/tickets. For group sales, call 215-968-8469.




Co-host Mark Kaye, who helped develop the series, states: Resourcefulness comes to mind in February; here it is, the shortest month of the year but yet it's jam-packed with rituals and ceremonies - from Valentine's Day to Black History Month, and somehow, it makes do with the days it's given. Hear stories of how resourcefulness, despite actual resources, and persistence are more than "making do" and prepare to be inspired.

D.C. Benny's story-telling style of comedy has delighted audiences over his thirty-five years as a Brooklyn-based performer. His third appearance on NBC's "Showtime At the Apollo" has over eighteen million YouTube views, he has 3 stand up specials including Comedy Central Presents, Dry Bar, was a season finalist on both seasons 2 and 8 of NBC's Last Comic Standing.
