SMILE: A Clown’s Ascension premieres this October in Pacific Grove, California!

This one-person play is an adaptation of Henry Miller’s The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder, with the blessings of the Henry Miller estate and in partnership with the Henry Miller Memorial Library, produced by J. Stock Productions. Starring Dennis Leroy Kangalee, directed by Magus Magnus, and written by Kangalee / Magnus.

Auguste, the circus clown, becomes world famous for his portrayal of a smile of mystic bliss. Yet, he yearns to give his audiences more than laughter and amusement: nothing less than “everlasting joy” would match the offering of his heart. What more suitable life goal could there be for a clown than
the impossible?
