SUMMARY:SMILE: A Clown’s Ascension
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in the United States\, Henry Miller’s luminous parable\, “The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder” comes to life on stage in a bold new adaptation: SMILE: A Clown’s Ascension. \nAn Event to Remember \nThis is not just another play — it is a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of literature and theater. It is a threshold where architecture shelters imagination\, where laughter deepens into joy. Years from now\, the question will be asked: Were you there? \nPerformances are Thursday\, October 16th through Saturday\, October 18th at 7:30 pm\, and a matinee on Saturday\, October 18th at 2pm. Tickets are $40\, available on Eventbrite.com using the links below. Due to language and subject matter\, the play is suggested for 14 and up. \nOctober 16 – Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, Carmel (7:30 pm) \nOctober 17 – Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, Carmel (7:30 pm) \nOctober 18 – Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, Carmel (2:00 pm) \nOctober 18– Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, Carmel (7:30 pm) \nPresented\, not coincidentally\, during the international symposium Henry Miller in the 21st Century — already described by one writer as “Live Aid for Miller aficionados”—this production promises to be one of the highlights of the cultural season. \nAbout the Play \nAt the center of SMILE: A Clown’s Ascension is Auguste\, a world-famous circus clown known for his smile of mystic bliss. Yet fame leaves him unsatisfied. He yearns to give audiences more than laughter — he longs to offer them nothing less than everlasting joy. What could be more fitting\, or more impossible\, for a clown? \nWhere pantomime\, music\, and performance merge into one luminous gesture. Inspired by the cubist painter Fernand Léger — whose postwar circus imagery inspired and accompanied Miller’s fable\, reinforcing its parable-like quality — this adaptation reimagines a modern fable as a living parable for our times. \nThe Creative Team \n\nDennis Leroy Kangalee — Actor/Writer\, starring as Auguste. A celebrated radical artist known for his uncompromising passion and truth.\nMagus Magnus — Co-Writer & Director. Poet\, playwright\, and visionary of Poets Theater with a record of staging works in groundbreaking spaces.\nJustine Stock — Producer (J. Stock Productions). A seasoned producer and arts advocate bringing over 20 years of theatrical experience. She is the managing director and co-founder of New Canon Theatre Co.\n\nDon’t Miss This Moment \nThe performance is more than a play. It is the beginning of something that may resonate for years to come: a unique collaboration\, a meeting of artistic giants\, and a cultural landmark of lasting importance. \nSeating is limited. History will only be made once. \nBe there. \nContent Disclosure: \nSMILE: A Clown’s Ascension is appropriate for ages 14 & up. It contains thoughts of suicide\, strong language\, violence\, racism\, and loud bang that may be distressing to some audience members.
