Knight, Knight
A medieval romp of swords, stones, and most of all, horses
A knight pulls a sword from a stone and, as the prophecy foretold – becomes king. No, not that king. Another one. Totally different one. This one is in love with his horse. A clown tale of courage, duty, determination, brotherhood (shoutout to the round table!), grief, and most of all, horses. A wild romp through a medieval world you thought you knew. A ye olde show brought to you by Madeleine Rowe.
Madeleine Rowe (they/them) is a clown, artist, and teacher from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Madeleine recently sold out a run of their clown solo show Honey, I’m Home at Open Eye Theatre. Other theatrical credits include clown opera, Orpheus in the Underworld -a Spymonkey co-production at the Vienna Volksoper- as well as shows with Four Humors, Clarence Brown Theater, and Yellow Tree Theater. Madeleine’s training includes renowned clown teacher Philippe Gaulier, acclaimed British comedy troupe Spymonkey, MFA Actor training from the University of TN, and a BA in performance from Augsburg University.

David's One-Man Band (F*ck You, Steven)
Welcome to the mid-noughties world of emo teen and future rockstar, David. He's smart. He's mature. He's memorised a diagram of a vulva and it definitely didn't make him feel sick. And he's here to headline Sticky Floors – the coolest under 16s band night in the Bay Area. But when his bandmate doesn't show, will he handle himself with a sense of poise and rationality? With live renditions of classic rock, original songs and emo bangers, this coming-of-age character comedy looks at how teenage boys communicate when, like, words are hard.
