THE CLOWN CONSERVATORY
AT CIRCUS CENTER SAN FRANCISCO PRESENTS
CLOWN SOUP
JUNE 13TH - JUNE 17TH, 2007

What:
The Clown Conservatory at Circus Center San Francisco presents its 2007 graduate performance of its brand new show Clown Soup. An evening of original contemporary and classically inspired absurdity and physical comedy, Clown Soup stars the 2007 Graduating class of the Clown Conservatory at Circus Center San Francisco. The Clown Conservatory, founded in 2000, is the only year-long professional theatrical and circus clown training program in the United States.

Directed by Joan Mankin and Paoli Lacy, Bay Area theatre and circus luminaries, Clown Soup represents the culmination of a year's training and preparation at the Clown Conservatory. Following in the grand traditions set forth by the original Pickle Family Circus, the show highlights the acrobatic, musical, juggling, and slapstick skills of the class in a series of solo, partner and ensemble vignettes.

William Hall founder of BATS Improv and Fratelli Bologna says: "I laughed so hard my stomach hurt! This is a great opportunity to see some of San Francisco's best new physical comedians before they become huge."
