My Grandmother’s Eyepatch

Clowns Can Dance—MTC Up the Alley

Heartfelt memorial for a beloved Grandmother or an opportunity to show off your awesome talents to your family? The character of Julia VanderVeen chooses the later. The performer Julia VanderVeen shows off her awesome talents to the crowd in a wild ride of physical comedy, singing and dialogue.

I don’t want to ruin any of the constantly surprising parts of the show, but I will say I thought I had an idea what might happen with one of the key props on stage. I was right, but then she went to a level no one could have expected, leaving everyone laughing and stunned.

Obligatory audience participation warning.
