It is obvious from the moment you meet each clown, that they are having a great time, and that love for their own work is definitely contagious to the audience. I very much enjoyed my experience during this production, and had a lot of pure fun throughout. The only thing I would say is that a lot of the clowns would act as independent units from time to time, and I feel like the show could have been so much more cohesive if the ensemble really worked as an ensemble, as oppo... full review

Well, CownMa brings it — hard — earning proper respect with We are the 0%, an uproarious, frequently touching tribute (?) to the Occupy Wall Street movement... Read mroe at http://www.latheatercritic.com... full review
