Three Clowns Enjoy a Picnic!
Saturday, September 14 2-3 PM at Unity Park
Three clowns will arrive in the park for the teeniest, tiniest, quietest picnic. As women and femmes, we are often asked to take up the smallest amount of space possible - so as not to be catcalled, not to be threatened or threatening… Unfortunately, that is a bit difficult for these three clowns. Especially once they realize that the egg salad (everyone’s favorite!) has gone bad, so bad that it has mutated, and now it won’t shut up.
Three Clowns Enjoy a Picnic 9/14/2024 2-3 PM at Unity Park
Hilarity and chaos ensue as they try to keep quiet, but not before the ants come marching in, puppeteered with the help of the audience. Finally, once the clowns loudly and proudly take up space in the park along with the audience, everyone will share a real, delicious, picnic.
