PREPOSTEROUS! (a Happenstance Clown Circus)

A sophisticated, family-friendly, pocket-sized clown circus in which charming vintage clowns play circus animals, sing as a human calliope, do the classic circus mirror routine with a twist, invent a number of ridiculous “entrées”, perform live music, and execute a very satisfying slow motion number involving a pie!

PREPOSTEROUS! premiered in the summer of 2017 at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival’s 50^th Anniversary featuring CIRCUS ARTS and it has been performed at The National Theater as part of their Saturday Morning family series. The show is a pared down version of the award-winning Happenstance Circus, winner of 5 Helen Hayes Awards, and has been called “DC’s leading peddler of whimsy” by the Washington Post.
