Cirque Du Soleil clown, master performer and ClaArts Faculty, Daniel Passer, joins us once more following his hilarious and heart-warming Heading into Night. This time, he delivers a farcical theatrical exhibition taking us from the lobby to the stage. With back-to-back one-acts, Going to Pot and Stark Naked and adding comic skits inspired by old-time television shows, Passer presents an inspired celebration of Georges Feydeau—the prolific master of farce. Twists upon twists make this a vaudevillian vision you won’t want to miss.
For fans of farces, this is a no-brainer!
