Get ready for a clown to go down in the FIRST evening-length Carla Rossi show since 2014, premiering November 14 - 17th at PNCA!

Presented by Risk/Reward, CLOWN DOWN opens with Portland's premier drag clown Carla Rossi (Anthony Hudson) being crushed by a new cabinet after she fails to mount it to the wall. Taking the traditional one-person show and turning it on its head by trapping its star under a piece of furniture, CLOWN DOWN tackles anxiety, depression, artistic blocks, and your favorite everyday traumas in a warped tribute to Mister Rogers and absurdist theatre. Using song, dance, video, and a talking pickle, Carla asks what it means to make art when our physical and mental health is under constant attack, nonetheless in a world on the brink of environmental and nuclear apocalypse - and all from underneath a hastily-made Swedish cabinet.

NOVEMBER 14, 15, 16 @ 8 PM
NOVEMBER 17 @ 5 PM
