What is the origin story of GeniusFEST? Co-producer/performer Jack Fry (EINSTEIN) tells us, “One day, a few years ago, Heather Massie (Hedy Lamarr), a few other science-based performers and I were sitting on the porch at a booking conference in the Minneapolis Hilton Hotel, musing about all the technology around us that we take for granted, never knowing the geniuses who created these remarkable innovations. Since our shows brought these geniuses to life, might it not be our mission to bring awareness to the dramatic stories behind these historic achievements, these revolutionary ideas from all types of visionaries that have transformed our world. Thus, GeniusFEST From Ideas to Impact – Celebrating Revolutionary Minds took form. We hope this festival will inspire audiences to engage in their world in a more appreciative and enlightening manner, while at the same time be astounded by the spectacular stories these artists tell.”
