Thank you for joining us at Chelsea Factory on June 11th, 2044. We’re honored to present the Clown Gym Ensemble, reuniting after 20 years, to perform their award winning 2024 production of HERO: “In a fertile land gone dry, abandoned by the gods, the animals, and their daddy, a group of dreamers search for a hero to save us all.” The original production miraculously stopped climate change and made stars of its creators, collectively earning them a Nobel Peace Prize, a Pulitzer, and, after the Broadway transfer from The Tank, all the Tony’s. Now they reunite for one-night only in honor of its 20th anniversary. Thank you for being here for another history making night.
