Oddfellows Playhouse Youth Theater will host clown performer Marta Mozelle-MacRostie for two performances of her one-person show, “Please Ship This Wet Gift” . “Please Ship…” is one clown's presentation about terrible feelings, and provides an opportunity for family audiences to laugh together about feeling bad. This original work uses drawing, audience suggestions, made-up songs, puppetry, and cardboard sharks to explore dealing with the things in life that are unfair, scary, sad, and just really annoying. Both performances will be open to the public, and we are collaborating with North End Action Team to distribute free tickets to economically-disadvantaged families. A talkback with the performer and director will follow the first performance.
