Performed at the Kinsmen Amphitheatre
July 28, 7pm
Clowns Reading Shakespeare is a family-friendly theatrical performance featuring a troupe of red-nosed clowns auditioning for a diva Director and her yet-to-be-determined Shakespeare show!
Laugh along with this troupe of eager clowns as they explore three of William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, and Macbeth…to the best of their ability. The Clowns make each play their own and interact with the audience as they follow the unusual whims of the Director. Improv and mischief ensues, as the show must go on!
Whether familiar with Shakespeare or not, families and viewers of all ages are sure to laugh, cry, and cheer along as the Clowns ultimately prove that a focus on teamwork and staying true to yourself leads to wonderful art.
