A Thousand Clowns: Rehearsal and Performance Schedule

The Merritt Live Theatre Society is in production for "A Thousand Clowns" by Herb Gardner. This play won the 1965 WGA Award for Best Written American Comedy. To read some of this play, and get lighting and set design information see this Google Book site.

Below is the rehearsal AND performance schedule as well as we know it at this time, updated from the first edition of September 12/09 . We need many helpers in order to make this run as close to professional as we can with our resources. The cast is already working like pros and we are excited with the endeavor.
