Show Description

Audiences experienced 500 Clown's signature mix of high physicality, raw emotion, and powerful storytelling in this World Premiere production about three clowns who explore what it truly means to be trapped...and to be set free. Commissioned by The College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University.   

Special Events

Everyone has the right to build and cherish a private library.

With this in mind, we presented the Book Bike: a custom-built tricycle stocked with 200 lbs of free books, after two of the performances in the run so our audience could enjoy the pleasure - and experience the power - in reading.
