A Thousand Clowns

Chanticleers Theatre
3683 Quail Ave Castro Valley

A non-conformist comedy writer fights to keep custody of his pre-teen nephew while clinging to his iconoclastic New York lifestyle in this popular and award-winning Broadway comedy by Herb Gardner (I'm Not Rappaport). Tired of writing tired old gags for a kids' show, the middle-aged Murray finds himself happily unemployed until Social Services drops by to make sure he's providing a good home for Nick, forcing him to man up and reconsider his unconventional life choices. Chanticleers Theatre offers complimentary snacks, coffee, tea and punch at intermission.
