Please Ship This Wet Gift is one clown's presentation about terrible feelings, and provides an opportunity for family audiences to laugh together about feeling bad. Everyone can go home when she thinks you're prepared. 

(because it's better if you're prepared.) 

(and she'll be the guy who prepared you.) 

This original work uses audience suggestion, audience participation, drawing, made-up songs, puppetry, and cardboard sharks to explore dealing with the things in life that are unfair, scary, sad, and just really annoying. The show melds clown theater with puppetry expertise to bring compassion and lightness to the heavy stuff. 

• Recommended for ages 4+ & adults who like awesome things.
• 75 minutes / no intermission
• Plus, join them for a Free, All Ages Clown workshop on Sunday. Pre-register at www.circusschool.org
