Beauchamp : Brand new Character Comedy with The Coach

BEAUT BEAUCHAMP is The Coach. A straight talkin strategist of “the field”, who’ll rally your sorry self up off the bench and right into The Game.

A new hour of character/clown comedy, written & performed by Aaron Pickett, with special guests. Produced by The Vallican Whole and Material Theatre, this is our April offering for the Up Close & Intimate Series.

What if a collage football coach went on a psychedelic adventure, discovered the meaning of the creative life, and was tasked with giving a team of artists a pre-game pep talk?
This one-act, a hybrid of stand up comedy and character performance, is a silly and profound examination of what makes an artist tick, reflecting on courage, communion, self-doubt and perserverence, the battle against artificial intelligence and disposable “content” culture, and the enduring human impulse to create and iterate.

If you were at the New Works Cabaret at the Whole last October, you may have seen an excerpt from this show.

Tickets available at the door – $25, $15 for low-income community members. Concession will be open.

We need a few volunteers to help at the door and in the kitchen – you get in for free! Contact us to help out!

The resulting essays are accessible, poetic, vulnerable and surprising. DesCamp will discuss her book, and answer your questions.
