Night of Drama does A Christmas Carol
Date/Time
Location
The Foundry (2 Harris St., West Stockbridge, MA 01266, West Stockbridge MA)
A cast of brave comedians take the stage, fueled by the dream of putting on the best production of A Christmas Carol the world has ever seen. Little do they know, the audience is armed, not with slings and arrows, but with banana peels …
This is the chaotic world of A NIGHT OF DRAMA (with a holiday twist!). Witness Jack Grossman, a prolific director of drama, desperately try to wrangle his company into this holiday classic. But between the audience’s bombardment of banana peels and the cast’s uncontrollable idiocy, his actions are thwarted as the night descends into a festive banana-covered coup.
This is a valiant attempt at a classic Dickens story, with a dash of audience pantomime participation, and a whole lot of fruit scraps! Every show is a unique experience, featuring a cast of guest performers who join the fray.
A NIGHT OF DRAMA is the debut show of Jack & Zoe Comedy and recently had a sold out run at The Edinburgh Fringe, and currently runs monthly in London and bi-monthly in New York. Come celebrate the holidays with drama, banana peels and a whole lot of chaos!
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.
Jack is a comedian from Tulsa, Oklahoma who studied to be a chemistry professor and dropped out to become a clown. After leading the sketch department of UCLA’s comedy club and hosting a variety show out of his apartment, Jack left LA to study at École Philippe Gaulier in Étampes, France, where he met Zoe and Friends™ and created A Night of Drama.
Jack is also a professional forager.
