Multi-award winning show-turned-troupe Four Clowns tours the nation this summer with their first show, an original by the same name, Four Clowns. The tour will include stops in Phoenix, Chicago, Indianapolis and the Minnesota and San Francisco Fringe Festivals .
Four Clowns is a physical, musical and emotional journey into what it means to be a human. Follow four clowns who represent the four clown archetypes; the sad clown, the mischievous clown, the angry clown and the nervous clown as they get together to lament and reminisce about their past. As the old adage goes, 'laughter is the best medicine' but, laughter comes most earnestly when reflecting on past sorrows. As the clowns tell their tales of woe and elation from childhood to adulthood we discover that really they are all the same, and so are we.
The cast features Alexis Jones as Sad Clown, Kevin Klein as Mischievous Clown, Raymond Lee as Angry Clown and Amir Levi as Nervous Clown with pianist Mario Granville.
