Update #2: Your Gifts and an Update (#2)
Dear Backers of Four Clowns 2011 National Tour,
Well, we have wrapped up what turned out to be an amazing tour. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. We were able to perform our show in six new cities (Phoenix, AZ. Indianapolis, IN. Chicago, IL. Minneapolis, MN. Las Vegas, NV and San Francisco, CA). Almost 1,000 audience members were able to see our show. We traveled for 6 weeks through 13 different states and were able to see the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, Big Sur and Highway 1/PCH as well as numerous other monuments, and natural wonders of our beautiful country. None of this could have been accomplished without your gratitude and graciousness.
We received a couple of Awards along the way including the 2011 San Francisco Fringe Festival - Best of the Fringe Award and was invited by the Minnesota Fringe for an Encore Performance of our show. Minnesota Fringe doesn't give awards but they honor the top-selling show at each venue by inviting them to perform one last time.
We were reviewed by 5 different papers and publications;
