Adapted from the book by Marla Frazee
A story of unexpected friendship told through physical comedy and dance.
An old hard-working farmer lives alone. One day, a baby clown accidentally bounces off a passing circus train and is separated from his family and friends.
Unsure what to do, the farmer takes the clown home. As time passes, they discover that by being with each other, they find something new in themselves.
Can a friendship span the generations? Can old dogs learn new tricks? Can the young clown find its way home?
Adapted from the charming picture-book by author and illustrator Marla Frazee (The Boss Baby), this wordless, heartwarming show is accompanied by an original live score.
“…a beautiful, simple, and charming piece of theatre, suitable for all.”
