Bouffon Glass Menajoree

Synopsis:
the Wingfield apartment is composed of a broken dream catcher, woven from the clotheslines of this American family's dirty laundry, washed with the antiquated colors of a long forgotten photograph. these three bouffons invite you to be a fly on the wall as they attempt to lure a gentleman caller for their precious Laura. Audiences take heed you might just be the one to get caught in their wickedly funny web!

Icetacles

Synopsis:
This work-in-progress is part of the Brick theater's "amuse Bouche" Clown theatre Festival Hors D'oeuvre. This description is from the press release: "Ice Castles, the Cutting edge, and Rocky collide on skates. When a has-been coach brings two sightless skaters together to win the big competition we learn that sometimes the one you love is the person you hate the most and winning is all that really matters. the creators of Bouffon Glass Menajoree bring you a blind parody on wheels."
