We had dinner at Tulla Bella and caught our Intiman play.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the show!!!
Summary
Playwright Herb Gardner made his Broadway debut with this 1963 comedy, a tribute to an unconventional family in a deeply conventional time, which won a Tony Award nomination for Best Play and was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film. Set against the backdrop of live children’s television, A Thousand Clowns takes place in 1962, when the agents of Eisenhower-era conformity first began to clash with the free-thinkers who would one day change the world. Sari Ketter, who staged Intiman’s acclaimed 2008 production of The Diary of Anne Frank, directs.
The production features Matthew Boston as Murray, an anti-establishment New Yorker, and Nick Robinson as his nephew Nick, a 12-year-old genius who brings “The Man” into their lives when he writes a school essay on the advantages of Unemployment Insurance. The cast also includes Bradford Farwell (Albert Amundson), Tim Hyland (Leo Herman, aka “Chuckles the Chipmunk”), Julie Jesneck (Sandra Markowitz) and David Pichette (Arnold Burns).
