A Thousand Clowns



Our neighborhood theater group, the Barcroft Players, presented the Oscar-winning play A Thousand Clowns on May 11 and 12, 2007. The play is a heartwarming comedy about rebellion, conformity and family priorities. Audiences praised the quality of the acting and the intimacy of the production on the tiny stage of the Barcroft Community House.
