A Thousand Clowns Opens at the Omaha Community Playhouse 10/22-11/21

A Thousand Clowns will run at the Omaha Community Playhouse Oct. 22-Nov. 21, 2010.
A humorous non-conformist bachelor is left to raise his precocious nephew. He has tired of writing cheap comedy for a children's television program and decides to do everything he has always wanted to do. Eventually he must return to work or lose his nephew. This is an extraordinarily funny play with brilliantly offbeat lines and situations.
