FOUR CLOWNS will tour the USA this summer including the Minnesota Fringe and San Francisco Fringe with their original show, but before that they are back at the Hollywood Fringe Festival for the second year in a row with a World Premiere, FOUR CLOWNS: ROMEO & JULIET at Fringe Central, the Art/Works Theatre.

In the late 16th century, William Shakespeare wrote Romeo & Juliet, the greatest romantic tragedy the world has ever known. Now, over 400 years later, the Four Clowns show-turned-troupe present their adaptation of his legendary play. Nothing is sacred as the four clowns explore themes of youth, love, lust and vengeance, all in the pursuit of laughter. The show contains graphic violence, strong sexual situations and other wanton behavior.

The cast features Alexis Jones, Kevin Klein, Raymond Lee and Zachary Steel with pianist Mario Granville.

FOUR CLOWNS: ROMEO & JULIET begins a limited engagement on June 16, 2011 and runs through June 25, 2011. Performances will be held on Thursday, June 16 @ 8pm, Saturday, June 18 @ 5:30pm, Friday June 24 @ 10:30pm and Saturday, June 25 @ 7:30pm. Performances will be held at Fringe Central, the Art/Works Theatre Mainstage @ 6569 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90038.

Tickets are $10 for everyone and can be purchased online at www.FourClowns.org or by calling 562.508.1788
