PhysFestNYC Presents: CHALK

CHALK (a silent comedy.)

"If everything you drew became real, where would your imagination take you?"

A charismatic clown discovers magic chalk that makes everything he draws come to life in this fantastical one-man show guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages!

A non-verbal physical comedy in the style of the great silent-film era comedians, Chalk is a goofy testament to the power of a childlike imagination, and a moving exploration of the adult search for romantic love and connection.

With a perfect mix of play and pathos, CHALK is a whimsical romp guaranteed to “draw you in”.

Ages 4+.
