In From Busk Till Dawn: The Life of a NYC Street Performer,the highly talented, technically accomplished actor/mime Tim Intravia gives us a totally engaging presentation about part of his life -- he performs as a silver-painted statue/robot interacting with people, mostly near Times Square, to support himself between legit acting jobs on stage or on television. The skills he displays are unique and exciting, his stories are full of humor as he shifts mood, tone and action as he tells his tales in the one hour show which is well-directed, with perfect timing, by Rebecca Yarsin.
It is rare to find a performer as original and as skilled as Intravia, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch him standing on his box entertaining a crowd or onstage in a play where the rest of his skills, as displayed in From Busk Till Dawn, can be enjoyed.
