Clown Cabaret – We’re Back!

Wednesday, April 17th at 8 pm

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

Clown Cabaret produces a potpourri of amazing comedy talent, including veterans of Big Apple Circus, Ringling Bros., Cirque du Soleil (and more), and graduates of LeCoq, Gaulier, and Dell’Arte schools (and more).

Come see a variety of … variety performers who are stretching to create better, stronger, funnier acts. We know how it works on paper and in the studio; the next step is getting it on stage! Come join us and be a part of the process!

Clowns are terribly misunderstood these days. Our goal is to change that. With highly skilled, well-trained performers, Clown Cabaret will not only expand the audience’s understanding, but give them the opportunity to laugh, cry, and, maybe, throw a pie in someone’s face.

Clown Cabaret was founded in 2010 by DC performers Karen Beriss, Matthew Pauli and Rich Potter in order to give clowns an opportunity to try new material in a supportive and fun venue with a great audience. Variety performers showcase new material and explore new facets of established material and, most importantly, play.

Tickets: Adults: $25, Children (16 & under): $15, Students/Seniors/Veterans: $20. Click here.

The Maryland Opera Studio presents Weill’s Street Scene, a work that brilliantly combines elements of opera and musical theater and that is widely acknowledged as one of the composer’s masterpieces. Set in a crowded tenement in 1940s New York City, the opera portrays life among a diverse group of working-class immigrants and the climactic events of one sweltering summer day. Based on a story by Elmer Rice with lyrics by Langston Hughes, Street Scene addresses social justice issues, race and the complexity of human relationships.

Sung in English with supertitles.
