SUMMARY: “Funny: Not a Comedy, Actually Kind of Tragic,” written by Caroline Festa, is a new play created and produced by Headwall Theater Company. It tells the story of a ragtag troupe of clowns rehearsing for their main stage production. Under the thumb of an ignorant producer, our protagonist and leader of this troupe, Candice, must struggle with the give and take between her own artistic values ​​and her commercial success. Funny breaks the norms of a contemporary play by combining contemporary text and clowning. The play’s physical component brings an exciting style of theater to the Queens area and allows audiences to expand their theatrical interests. “Funny” is a story for every person trying to make a name for themselves in this big world. But life isn’t that serious, is it?! Maybe we just need a belly laugh together.
