When Clowns Play Hamlet
May 24 – June 3, 2012
Written By Harry Koutoukas
Directed by Ozzie Rodriguez
Music Composed by Joseph Blunt
Performed by members of The Great Jones Repertory Company
In honor of Ellen Stewart/ Harry Koutoukas/ Tom O’Horgan
Three-star Circus performers reduced to the status of Clowns rehearse their Act in the backyard of a second-rate circus. When a wild and jealous “panther-baboon” escapes and the circus is threatened, our heroes decide to confront “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” to save their way of life. Armed with music and humor in the most unlikely circumstances they perform their beloved “Clown Act” and find the courage to face insurmountable odds.
Beauty as God(dess)
May 25 – May 27, 2012
by Our Lady J with special guests
Our Lady J presents Beauty As God(dess), a concert celebrating the aesthetic of the Divine. Continuing on her previously explored themes of non-traditional, post-religious forms of worship, Our Lady J and special guests perform songs honoring the ever-present, yet mostly unacknowledged modern deity : BEAUTY itself. Is there anything more valued in our 21st Century society? Is there anything more sacred and desired?
