OUT OF LINE: “The Lamentable Tale of a Dog; as told by Beppo, formerly of the Castaglioni company of Padua”
9 – 10pm
Location
A clown struggles to find humor in a world that suddenly feels very dark after he is abandoned by his company following the death of his dog in this new and timely solo work by outrageous writer/performer Justin Sayre. “The Lamentable Tale of a Dog; as told by Beppo, formerly of the Castaglioni company of Padua” is a treatise on the power of humor in uneasy times and the resilience we can find by laughing at impending gloom.
