Step back into film history with two special screenings of "Our Hospitality" (1923), a classic Buster Keaton comedy brought to life with a live theatre organ performance by Fort Wayne native Mark Herman.In this beloved silent-era gem, Keaton, famous for his brilliant physical comedy and legendary “stone face”, plays a New Yorker who unexpectedly gets swept up in an old-fashioned family feud in 1840s Kentucky. The film is packed with everything from train chases and daring stunts to sweet romance and laugh-out-loud slapstick. Upon its release, Variety hailed it as “one of the best comedies ever produced for the screen.”
Your musical guide for the evening, Mark Herman, is an internationally acclaimed theatre organist who has performed hundreds of concerts and silent film accompaniments across the globe. He received the American Theatre Organ Society’s Organist of the Year award in 2012, and was the youngest to ever earn the honor, and previously won the Society’s Young Theatre Organist Competition.
Now based in Los Angeles, Mark also serves as President of Herman Organ Company, where he leads a team dedicated to the restoration and care of historic pipe organs.
