Dare to enter the Baby Clown showcase and laugh for a cause!

 

Wtf is clowning?! Big shoes? Tiny cars? Terrifying makeup? None/all of the above? Come find out as 11 brave, advanced students showcase their work after a month of tutelage under “master of physical comedy” and local clown powerhouse, Anne Zander (BroadwayWorld). 

Now with 100% more RAFFLE! Prizes include tickets to Broke Gravy, Mediterranean cooking classes with Syrian Chef Diyana (Aladdin’s Cafe NE), and a spot in an upcoming Fundamentals of Physical Comedy weekend intensive with Anne Zander! $5 for 1 raffle ticket, $20 for 5.

Witness the only art form where failure is its own reward and the audience is never ignored. Laugh your ass off as these Baby Clowns entertain you or fall flat on their faces trying, all while helping local Portlanders supporting their Palestinian families fleeing Gaza. 

 

From their GoFundMe page at tinyurl.com/Portlandfamilies: “We are three Portland-based Palestinians - Mohammed, Mahmoud, and Zandi —urgently gathering community support for our families who are enduring dire conditions in Gaza. Currently, our family members face displacement, destroyed homes, and the fatal reality of living under constant bombardment and unimaginable violence, with no safe haven for over 3 months. The escalating dangers and amounting medical needs left our families with no choice but to leave for Egypt. However, in Egypt they face restricted movement, no ability to return home, no work permits, and no access to official financial aid. The decision to leave their homes and extended families was extremely difficult, as their hearts remain in Gaza.”
