Our latest hit show is going to be presented as part of the NY Clown Theatre Festival.

MANIFESTO!

Performed by Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Maia DeSanti, Scott Burgess, Matthew Pauli, Emma Jaster

Three clowns, two visionaries, and a noise-maker walk into a bar.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE! . . . Is it?

The DC City Paper says “These merry pranksters get it!…glorious nuggets of nonsense…a delightful romp through the surreal…an extra-sensory extravaganza…it is belly-laugh humor“. The Washington Post called it “…an ingeniously oddball deconstruction …brash…seductive…Futurism and dadaism pulsed with revolutionary zeal“

Beware of Forgeries! Text is from ACTUAL Manifestos.

MANIFESTO! is DADA! Clown! HAHA! haha.

unjuried, risk-taking, independent performing arts

July 10-27

It means we can apply for grants! So that we can continue to build new work, expand our ensemble, and tour or remount our standing repertoire!

It means we can receive donations of “physical property”, which for a Theater company is wonderful because we need lots of stuff! Costumes, props, office supplies, professional services…all are welcome offerings!

And all of this means that we can continue to build a meaningful and poetic theatrical experience for you, and new, growing audiences.

How does it work?

It is REALLY easy! All you have to do is click.

“…For a really satisfying cultural riff, however, you’d have had to take in LOW TIDE HOTEL, an enchantingly whimsical montage of maritime-themed songs and literary excerpts performed three times last weekend. Cast members Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell and Scott Sedar lent mystery and humor to a script that sampled songs such as “Moby Dick” and even the Police’s “Message in a Bottle.” The retro visual aesthetic — straw boaters, a hatbox, a tray of saltwater taffy — dovetailed beautifully with Jaster’s foley-artist-style sound effects, which included “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean” played on a musical saw.” – Celia Wren, Washington Post
