Pi Clowns in The Good the Bad and the Stupid

Pi Clowns perform at the Arcata Playhouse September 28-30.
Hot off their Canadian tour Pi Clowns, the physical comedy troupe, brings the wild west to Arcata. Incredible acrobatics, high speed horse races, and duels to the [overly dramatic] death await you in this fast paced circus and comedy explosion. So saddle up and trot on down for some side splitting comedy by this award winning troupe of zanies.

Pi is a physical comedy troupe devoted to exploring the world and examining life's mysteries through a lens of wonder. Six clowns currently comprise the ensemble Pi, which was founded at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 2004. As a troupe, Pi creates theater using elements of clowning and mime technique, acrobatics, juggling, eccentric dance, live music, improvisation, puppetry and feats of incredible strength. Most of their work consists of short clown vignettes. Their storytelling relies mainly on the physical virtuosity of their bodies. The spectator is fundamental to their clowning and plays a vital role in making every performance unique.
