MADLAB PRESENTS THE FIRST SHOW OF ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATORY SEASON
|
SEPTEMBER 18-OCTOBER 4
MADLAB PRESENTS CLOWNTIME IS OVER by Joseph Green Max P. Twinkle is a television clown who lives to entertain--because he is too exhausted by life for anything else. Today, however, is different. He finds himself trapped in a room with a bitter llama, a loveless bunny rabbit, and a fitfully hungry serpent that may destroy them all. Before the final curtain falls, there will be jokes. And love. And death. And entrances and exits. ClownTime is a surreal comedy suffused with dread—and was one of MadLab's most critically lauded productions. |
