Three Studio Six ‘graduated’ clowns – Kevin Klein, Alexis Jones, and Raymond Lee – are to appear in 4 Clowns, presented by Alive Theatre at the Long Beach Playhouse, conceived and directed by Jeremy Aluma, prior to performances at the Minnesota and San Francisco Fringe Festivals later this year.

What: 4 Clowns conceived and directed by Jeremy Aluma
Where: Long Beach Playhouse @ 5021 E. Anaheim Street, Long Beach, CA, 90804
When: Friday, March 4 – Saturday, March 19. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm.

How: $10 for everyone at www.lbplayhouse.org or www.alivetheatre.org
Press Contact: Jeremy Aluma      562.508.1788      jeremy@alivetheatre.org

“Aluma may be saying that human pain is at once particular and universal; what’s certain is his cast is gifted…” GO! – Amy Nicholson, LA Weekly & Backstage

“The playful, troublemaking 4 Clowns offer a night out you won’t soon forget. The 4 Clowns are thrillingly unique, and you could possibly leave asking, ‘Did that really just happen?” – Stephanie Forshee, Campus Circle

“WARNING: Do not hire these clown for your 5-year-old’s birthday party. But definitely go see 4 Clowns (sans the little ones, of course). The archetypal clowns (Nervous, Mischievous, Angry and Sad) go through the stages of life: childhood, adolescence, adulthood and death. Not necessarily a morality play, it does leave the message that even though life is horrible- I mean really f***ing horrible – at least we can laugh our way through the pain. Each clown is an honest, albeit exaggerated, version of humanity, expertly crafted and directed by Jeremy Aluma and his quartet of brilliant clowns. A mixture of classic clowning techniques with singing and improvisation – this is definitely a must see. You’ll be sure to cry…from laughter.”  – Ashley Steed, LA Theatre Review
