Box of Clowns Presents MOM? A Comedy of Mourners at San Francisco Fringe Festival 2015

By: Sally Henry Fuller Jul. 26, 2015

Box of Clowns will present "Mom?" A Comedy of Mourners, a play about three clown siblings mourning the loss of their mother, as part of the 16-day San Francisco Fringe Festival, September 11 through 26, 2015. "Mom?" A Comedy of Mourners plays September 12, 13, 19, 20 and 24 at EXIT Theatre.

Death can be scary. So can clowns. But what if they weren't? "Mom?" A Comedy of Mourners is a show of "sharp, beautifully-timed, elegant, physical comedy" (Plank Magazine, Vancouver).

"Box of Clowns hits us over the head - and smacks us in the face, and nearly knocks us off the edge of a cliff - with the idea that humor can and does exist in death, and everywhere else for that matter." (The Oregonian).

Now in its 24th year, the San Francisco Fringe Festival brings fresh, daring, exciting theatre of all varieties to open-minded audiences of all persuasions. Often over-the-top and under-the-radar of traditional theatre, "The Fringe" has its rabid devotees - and wins more fans every year.

The 2015 San Francisco Fringe Festival, September 11 through 26 (every day but Mondays), brings 34 different shows to San Francisco's EXIT Theatreplex, 156 Eddy Street. EXIT Theatreplex is within walking distance of Union Square and the Powell Street BART station. For complete listings of venues, shows, and times, go to www.sffringe.org. Or call the fringe hotline at (415) 673-3847.

Tickets are $12 (or less) at the door (cash only) and $14.99 (or less) online in advance. A five-show Frequent Fringer pass is $45. EXIT Theatre, the producer of the San Francisco Fringe Festival, has been presenting Indie theater in downtown San Francisco since 1982.
