Three men's friendships are tested in extraordinary and hilarious ways when one of them buys a white on white painting for a colossal amount of money. A thought provoking, deliciously witty, Tony Award-winning play.

A Thousand Clowns
Today at 7:30pm
NEW Stage Theater (Above The Beacon Cinema) 55 North Street, Pittsfield, MA
Phone: (413) 418-0999 Price: $20
NEW STAGE Theatre Company is pleased to announce its latest production, "A Thousand Clowns" by Herb Gardner. The show will open July 15 and run through August 1st, Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 P.M. and Sundays at 4:00 P.M.
"A Thousand Clowns" is the hilarious, thought-provoking, and touching Tony Award winning play that was later adapted into an Academy Award winning film starring Jason Robards. It is the story of an unemployed television writer trying to adapt his cantankerous world view in order to find work and retain custody of his 12-year-old nephew.
As pertinent today as it was when it premiered in 1962, "A Thousand Clowns" stars Berkshires writer and performer Bill Shein as Murray Burns, the sardonic writer trying to get his life in order. The cast includes Clover Bell-Devaney, Kale Brown, Jim Beaudin, Andrew Joffe and Christian Pickwell.
NEW STAGE is located on the second floor of The Beacon at 55 North St. in Pittsfield, MA. Tickets are $20. For more information and tickets/reservations, call the box office at (413) 418-0999 or visit our Web site at http://www.newstageperformingarts.org
