In 2009, the founder of Cirque du Soleil, Guy Laliberté became the first clown in space. His mission to the International Space Station was to raise awareness concerning the vital water issues facing humankind back on planet Earth, which he called a “poetic social mission” in space.

My new venture, EMERGENCY RED NOSE® Productions is off to a strong start. Getting back in the driver’s seat as a producer has the familiar feeling of controlled chaos. The job requires wearing many hats.

My current production is The Land of Clowns, which opens April Fools Day at Open Eye Theatre. I’m co-writing the show with Kevin Kling, thanks to an Artist Initiative Grant I received this year from the MN State Arts Board.

It’s shaping up to be an amazing show with an extraordinary cast.

Stay tuned…
