Loosely based on the time he cried on a stage and people thought it was a performance, “CLOWN LUNG” by Steven San Luis is a full-length comedy that tells the story of a pizza delivery Boy who can’t stop crying to save his life. The Boy journeys from his hometown by the sea to a depressing circus, to a lively funeral, and then to wherever else the train will take him, in search of an antidote that will dry his tears. Clown Lung is a drag show in which all of the wigs are two-thirds of a size too small. It’s the cotton candy crust on an all-American humble pie that reminds us that the real clown lung is the friends we make along the way.

"CLOWN LUNG” was developed at Local Theater Company's Local Lab (Artistic Director, Pesha Rudnick) in Boulder, Colorado.
