A night of drama — Jack and Zoe Comedy
Date/Time
Location
The Foundry (2 Harris St., West Stockbridge, MA 01266, West Stockbridge MA)
Picture this: a group of brave improvisers and clowns take to the stage, fueled by grand visions of a stunning dramatic masterpiece. Little do they know, the audience is armed, not with applause, but with a barrage of banana peels!
This is the chaotic, side-splitting world of A Night of Drama, the newest original work to come out of Jack & Zoe Comedy. Witness Jack Grossman, a determined live-director, desperately try to wrangle his company into a serious play. But between the audience’s playful bombardment of banana peels and the cast’s own comedic genius, his actions are ultimately thwarted as the night descends into a banana-filled clown coup.
Think classic Dickens meets Hugo with a dash of audience pantomime participation (and a whole lot of fruit scraps). Every show is a unique experience, featuring a rotating cast of guest clowns and improvisers who join the fray.
This isn’t just any comedy show – it’s a true cult classic. After a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where audiences clamored for more, A Night of Drama is finally hitting US shores!
Ready to join the banana-fueled fun?
Jack and Zoe Comedy are are two clowns from the USA who make comedy shows in non-traditional (but also traditional) performance spaces, running on donations and accessible ticket prices. We believe that live performance should be accessible to the masses, and we like to make you go ha ha.
Zoe (she/her) is a theater maker, visual artist and teacher from Chatham, NY. She has worked with Ars Nova, Shakespeare & Company, Olney Theatre Center, Pittsfield Shakespeare in the Park, and Columbia County Youth Theatre. She is an alumna of Bard College, the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s National Theater Institute and Ecole Philippe Gaulier.
Zoe is also a professional babysitter.
