DENMARK — Denmark Arts Center presents “Blueberries, Brian and Broadway” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2. From chance meetings with stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Kevin Bacon and Hugh Jackman to working for legendary producer Victoria Crandall at Maine State Music Theatre, Brian Allen has a story to tell. His upbeat attitude has allowed him to see the humor in life, and his life has been a riot.

“Did I tell you about taking piano lessons at the casket factory? How about the time I led a tour to London and we ended up in the wrong country? Oh, I’ve got to tell you about the bats in our belfry.” Brian’s show is one-part play, one-part stand-up comedy and all hilarious. “Allen is a natural born storyteller!” said April Boyle of the Maine Sunday Telegram in her review of “Blueberries, Briand and Broadway.”

Allen, a Maine boy who was born to a family of blueberry mongers, grew up to tour nationally, do shows off-Broadway, star in a reality television show, co-found a theater and hobnob with celebrities. Stories from his youth about taking piano lessons at a casket factory; bats in the belfry of his family’s ‘Addams Family’-esque home, or loving reminisces about family are what make the show a pleasure to experience.
