Faustwork Mask Theatre continues Family Fun Sundays at Owens Community College, Jan. 17
Fanciful handcrafted masks and physical comedy and theatre will collide at Owens Community College’s Center for Fine and Performing Arts as Faustwork Mask Theatre founder and artistic director Robert Faust brings to life a variety of characters by assuming the emotional state expressed in each mask’s face during a performance titled “The Mask Messenger” on Sunday, Jan. 17, 2010.
The performance, which will be held in the Center for Fine and Performing Arts’ Mainstage Theatre at 3 p.m., is the second in the series of three Family Fun Sundays presented by Owens. The College is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township. |

Since its founding by artistic director Robert Faust in 1983, Faustwork Mask Theatre has produced and created six shows that have delighted audiences worldwide at a variety of venues, including the Sydney Opera House in Australia, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Additionally, Faustwork Mask Theatre’s first symphony show “Face the Music” was created in 2006 and performed to audiences nationwide.
Faust is known for personally designing and creating the masks used in Faustwork Mask Theatre’s various performances. Made from wood, leather, celastic, neoprene or bronze, Faust’s masks are primarily used on stage, but can occasionally be seen in art galleries and have been commissioned by such professional organizations as the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, among many others.
Tickets for the Faustwork Mask Theatre performance are $15 and all seats are general admission. To purchase tickets, visit www.owens.edu or contact the College’s Box Office.
