NEYT’s Clowntown Presents:
Clowns in a Clown Castle
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 24, 2025
Brattleboro, VT – Get ready for a weekend of medieval madness, riotous clowning, and unforgettable fun as Clowntown, the New England Youth Theatre’s premier clown troupe, presents its newest show: Clowns in a Clown Castle.
The servants of the Royal House of Wiffenpoof have recently discovered the concept of getting paid—and they’re determined to get their hands on that sweet coin, no matter what it takes! From chaotic banquets and whimsical hunts to chamber pots and a full-blown peasant rebellion, this medieval-inspired comedy will have you laughing from start to finish. Fans of Monty Python’s The Holy Grail will feel right at home as Clowntown brings their signature brand of slapstick, clever satire, and hilarious clown stunts to the stage.
This one-of-a-kind performance is set in the grand (and utterly ridiculous) Castle Wiffenpoof, where social status means nothing and mischief reigns supreme. Whether you’re royalty or peasantry, you’re in for a night of side-splitting laughter and outlandish antics!
Clowntown is a youth theatre company made up of talented actors between the ages of 9 and 13. The company’s focus on European-style clowning is rooted in physical comedy, mime, and, of course, hilarious stunts. Through the art of clowning, these young actors develop essential skills for all forms of performance, making this a show that’s not only entertaining but educational for the next generation of theatre artists.
NEYT would like to extend a special thanks to their Season Sponsors: The Bear Bookshop, Southern Vermont Solar, The Royal Diner and a heartfelt thank you to their Clowntown Sponsor, The Vermont Suitcase Company, for their generous support of the arts and youth theatre.
Performance dates are Friday, February 14th at 7pm and Saturday, February 15th at 2pm & 7pm.
