What happens when the woman you just fell in love with leads you to the edge? What happens when the soon-to-be President of the United States is so mired in melancholy that he can’t get out of bed? Clearly, this is terrain that can only be navigated by a clown. Circus artist and solo theater veteran Sara Felder leads us from the Civil War to a Lincoln look-alike convention to the top of UC Berkeley’s Campanile in her new comedy about love, war and coloring outside the lines.

Sara Felder is “wry, funny, smart and lovable,” (Washington Post,) a “local performance treasure” (S. F. Chronicle,) and someone who has “chutzpah up the wazoo.” (S.F. Weekly)
