Zanyacts
Variety Entertainer in Northfield, MA
Why hire Zanyacts?
Linda Peck offers a whimsical and lighthearted mix of theatre, mime, and circus illusion, as well as tight rope walking and fire manipulation, in ways that are reminiscent of a Cirque du Soleil character. Through creating living statues, she brings historical and fictional characters to life, including Lucille Ball, Annie Oakley, Mary Poppins, Molly Pitcher and others. For the past 32 years, she has performed in gala celebrations, private parties, Renaissance fairs, masquerade balls, corporate events, living history fairs, centennials, and more. Her talents and infectious good humor are a treat for all ages.
Mary Poppins a huge hit
We hired Linda Peck for our annual outdoor heritage festival. We enjoyed working with her and her human statue of Mary Poppins was a huge hit with children and adults, even in the rain! Linda was a delight to work with and very professional and thorough. She was well received and rolled with the punches. We hope to have her back in the future.

Excellent Family Entertainment!!
Linda Peck did a SUPER FANTASTIC job preforming and entertaining at a 4th of July Kiddie Carnival in Hinesburg, VT. She has a TON of energy. She is constantly busy interacting with the kids and preforming trick after trick! There is not a dull moment. I would recommend her, and would definitely hire her again for the Kiddie Carnival.

What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 10 - 60 minutes
Audiences have been intrigued by my combination of whimsy, magic and comedy in my one-woman performance. From getting stuck in an umbrella to ladders, scarves and peacock feathers, my props are unique, and audiences "laugh till they cry." I am interactive and mimic human foibles which make people go "Ah!" and rethink the things that happen as humans.
Stage/Setup Requirements:
Clean, clear space
Stage or stage area
Wall or other backdrop behind me
Additional Notes:
I am self contained, have my own sound system and lights.
