Monday September 14th, Pi visited STEP Project lunch. We had a wonderful time performing for the Mental Health patients there.

Review of Bread and Roses benifit
How many ways can four young performers clown around? For the members of “Pi” the possibilities are endless. The giggling, squirming children attending Manzanita Child Development after-school program had their funny-bones thoroughly tickled by this fast paced and exuberant band of 20-something Clown College graduates. One moment it was Leah springing forth from a (very [...]

You study the program, listen to the buzz while getting yours on in the Exit Theatre Café, read the audience reviews online, but in the end you never know what you’ll get. This year I led with my gut and — it being that kind of year — decided to go for all the dark [...]

Just saw them tonight and fully enjoyed the show and for a Weds night they had a nice crowd of at least 30 people. Needs some tightening up here and there but still makes for a fun evening. It’s a good idea to get there early as there is pre-show clowning and it’s a good idea to review your paper airplane making skills before arrival. Would also be a neat show to bring kids to. The Boxcar Playhouse on Natoma is about a ten minute walk from the Exit theater so you’ve plenty of time to catch other shows from there at the Exit and The Garage is just around the corner on Howard if you wanted to catch a show there. Well worth seeing.
Enjoyable and diverting clown show. The troupe is talented in physical comedy, esp. the main, spikey-haired guy. It felt a little long at just over an hour and a couple of bits didn’t quite come together, but overall promising clowning from this Santa Cruz group.
Not only are these performers very creative and physically talented, but their facial expressions are amazing, captivating and hilarious. I don’t normally connect that well with clown shows, but this one had such heart and humor along with its message that I loved it!
I really enjoyed this cool clown show – it is very much a party! They are a tight, engaging ensemble, all very talented with a lot of bright energy and playful imagination. I especially liked how they used live and recorded music. Go down to Boxcar (it’s not far!) to see them.
Fun and funny. I think that I peed my pants a little during the grand finally. This ensemble is truly in tune with each other and are all hitting right on the funny bone.
