Clowns Without Borders
The show must go…online! The annual Clowns Without Borders fundraiser will offer “Pandemic Pandemonium” streaming shows featuring favorite local performers joined by prominent international artists. The circus moves into guests’ living rooms to raise money to send clowns around the world so people can experience laughter, play, and feel hope, especially during humanitarian crises. The benefit includes two shows: one for children and all-ages with interactive elements and music starring Marisol Kimberly Rosa-Shapiro, Mike Funt, and Meredith Gordon; and an adult-focused show including performances by Portland’s Leapin’ Louie Lichtenstein and Poki McCorkle.
