The Clowns is the latest in our play reading series, it is a rock opera written by local playwrights Andy Mayo and Matthew Dicks. The Clowns features a straight up rock score based on the music of an actual opera arias.
Come watch a group of young rock star wannabes navigate their way through life and love that all gets sorted out at a battle of the bands.
MC is a hopeless geek who can't get a date. Jake is a rock star who can't get a record deal. Gwin is the singer Jake wants to impress. Lily is the girlfriend who wants Jake's attention. MC has always loved Lily, but Xavi is the flame that lights her candle. Tabar is the schemer who rats them out, while Turi is the jilted lover who struggles to keep it all in perspective.
This play reading will feature a live band and actors, with scripts in hand bringing Mr. Mayo's music and lyrics and Mr. Dicks' words to life for the first time in front of an audience. The audience will be given the opportunity to provide feedback through a Q & A session with the writers and cast after the performances.
