AVNER THE ECCENTRIC
Avner is probably best known for his endearing portrayal of The Jewel, the scene-stealing holy man, in The Jewel of the Nile, co-starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. He was also featured in the film Brenda Starr and the television series' Webster and Mathnet. Avner's one-man show, Avner the Eccentric, was a hit of the 1984-1985 Broadway season. He co-starred in Lincoln Center's production of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, and returned to Broadway in 1989 in a principal role in Ghetto.
Avner's new show, Exceptions to Gravity, defies the barriers of language and culture and has toured extensively all over the US and abroad. In addition to a busy performance schedule, Avner has taught master classes in clowning and Eccentric Performing in the United States, France, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Japan and Spain.

DR. TOM AND "HATS" The keyboardist, vocalist and raconteur known as Dr. Tom (he claims to hold "an honorary Ph.D emeritus in pianoolgy") will visit LSU Eunice on Tuesday, March 23, performing a unique one-man show drawn from jazz, pop, R&B, rockabilly, blues and classic country, in no particular order. The event will feature parts of several one-man shows Dr. Tom created from the vintage material he loves from all across America's 20th Century musical spectrum. The diversity of it all is why he bills himself as "the eclectic jazzabilly." Free to LSU Eunice students • $3.00 general audiences
