Pinot and Augustine at the Publick Playhouse, Nov 12

Pinot and Augustine at the Publick Playhouse, Nov 12

Prince George’s Publick Playhouse presents:
Pinot and Augustine

Tuesday, November 12, 2024, 11:15am

Prince George’s Publick Playhouse.

This performance is part of our Tiny Tots Series and is recommended for PreK to Grade 2. Happenstance Theater’s Pinot & Augustine are a friendly clown duo inspired by the golden age of Circus. Pinot is the authoritarian clown in fancy clothes and a white cone hat. Augustine is the appealing, red-nosed bumbler who punctures his pomposity. This bilingual, guaranteed crowd-pleaser bubbles over with physical comedy, virtuosity, and musical surprises from the sublime to the ridiculous: from lyrical melodies on a musical saw to pratfalls and a whoopee cushion. Please note, everyone must have a ticket to enter, regardless of age. Schools can call 301-277-1710 for Group Sales.
