500 Clown and the Elephant Deal

Inspired by (not based on) Bertolt Brecht’s Man is Man, 500 Clown and the Elephant Deal is an original theater production for adults with music, co-created with composer and lyricist John Fournier, who also collaborated on 500 Clown Christmas. A rocking three-piece band, an alluring Mistress of Ceremonies, and a daring stage crew have everything they need for a night of theatre… except for the story, which has gone MIA. The players find themselves on a collision course with this fierce runaway tale, which is riddled with spontaneous characters and dangerous stunts, utilizing a steel truss as cabaret stage and obstacle course (outfitted with custom-designed weight-bearing pulleys and lots of rope). Run time will be approximately 90 minutes with one intermission. Post-show discussions will follow all previews and Wednesday and Thursday performances (free with paid ticket).
