THE organisers of this year's Tony Awards were facing a revolt yesterday from stage actors who said they were being pushed aside in favour of famous but undeserving film stars.
NEW COMPANY, SAME FACES – With the majority of the original cast in tact, Smoke on the Mountain is travelling to the Cumming Playhouse with the new Jasper-based North Georgia Acting Company. The show opened June 2 and will run through June 26.
One of the hits of last year’s Los Angeles Fringe Festival was Four Clowns, conceived and written by Jeremy Aluma. The show won the Hollywood Fringe Award for Best Physical Theatre. I am used to seeing some clowning at almost any Sacred Fools presentation, but finding these four actors, Alexis Jones (Sad Clown), Kevin Klein (Mischievous Clown), Raymond Lee (Angry Clown), and Amir Levi (Nervous Clown), is a tribute to Aluma and his dedication to the Art of Clowning. Apparently there are several clown schools as such in the Southland as well as master teachers in Commedia del Arte. these are some of the best clowns I have seen around, and that includes clowns with Cirque du Soleil.
