Bio
Mary Kaye has won critical acclaim for her three CDs of children’s music, including awards from National Parent Publications, the Film Advisory Board, Children’s Music Web and a prestigious Oppenheim award. She has been featured in numerous publications including Parenting Magazine and Publishers Weekly and is played on XM Kids as well as radio stations nationally and internationally. Her show is a mixture of music and theatre, featuring selections from her most popular music along with the antics of her comic guest, Professor Von Weinerschnitzel. The good Professor is the invention of David Kaye, Mary’s real life husband and a professional actor, director and writer. David has performed in theatres throughout the USA, and is a published playwright of several plays for young audiences. His play Rump! The Musical was the winner of the 1998 Zornio Prize and his screenplay “Can’t Get There” aired on PBS. Both Mary and David toured together with the critically acclaimed Theatre IV, the largest professional touring theatre for young audiences in the country.
The show is specially crafted to keep kids and their parents interested in entertained for the entire 50 minute performance. Built around the Professor’s “grand experiment,” Mary’s songs interweave with Von Weinerschnitzel’s quest to overcome the laws of gravity. The show has an overall theme of perseverance, as Mary uses her music to prevent the professor from giving up, despite several disastrous (yet hysterical) attempts to succeed. The performance, which includes magic, puppets and numerous opportunities for audience participation, has received raves from audiences ranging from large outdoor festivals to libraries and theatres.
