Clowns Reading Shakespeare: A diva Director of a local community theatre company is holding auditions, and a troupe of eager Clowns are ready to show off their talent! What show are they auditioning for, you ask? One of William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, of course! Which one, you ask? Well...can these Clowns handle Hamlet, the famous drama about a grief-stricken son tortured by indecision after the death of his father? Or how about Romeo & Juliet, the beloved tale of star-crossed lovers whose romance burns bright before their untimely deaths? Or maybe Macbeth, Shakespeare’s brutal play about witches, kings, and the cost of ambition? Can this intrepid group get performance-ready in time to meet with the mysterious Producer? Join us this June to find out!

Thanks to the generous support from the Toronto Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Foundation, and Animating Toronto Parks program for making this show possible!
