A THOUSAND CLOWNS Comes to Sierra Madre Playhouse
The next selection in the Off the Page series of staged readings at Sierra Madre Playhouse is the comedy A Thousand Clowns.
Unconventional Murray is the uncle to precocious nephew, Nick. Tired of writing cheap comedy gags for "Chipper the Chipmunk", a children's television star, Murray finds himself unemployed with plenty of free time with which to pursue his...pursuits. Lectured by his conventional brother Arnold and hounded by "the system", Murray is paid a visit by bickering, uptight social workers, Sandra and Albert, and finds himself solving their problems as well as most of his own.
Herb Gardner (1934-2003) is the playwright. He won the Tony Award for I'm Not Rappaport and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Conversations with My Father. His other Broadway credits include Thieves, One Night Stand, and The Goodbye People.
Cate Caplin directs. She has directed, produced and/or choreographed over 200 productions locally, regionally and internationally, including A Lovely Lineage at Sierra Madre Playhouse..
