Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 Hanging with Henry Juggler entertains a gathering at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site By Laura Eisener T he performance had been rescheduled from a previous date but still drew a good audience. Henry the Juggler told us he is from Amherst, Mass., and had never been to the Iron Works before. He put on a great show and invited participation by the audience, resulting in many laughs. At the end, he invited young would-be jugglers to come up and get some coaching on their skills and had a number of takers for this instruction. Henry the Juggler is a professional. He has been seen by tens of thousands up and down the East Coast – appearing at theaters, schools, libraries, festivals, scout troops and business districts. He has been performing and teaching juggling for over 30 years. He studied physical comedy at California’s Dell’Arte School, and he continues to develop his act through classes in TaiChi, Feldenkraiz and Tango. He is an active member of the International Jugglers Association and the Hats Off Performers Guild. Henry is the producer of the annual New England Performers’ Retreat.
