Behind the curtain of the big top, no one is laughing harder than the saddest clown of them all. Philadelphia Artists’ Collective, in partnership with Philadelphia School of Circus Arts, presents the Philadelphia premiere of He Who Gets Slapped, from March 30 to April 16, 2016, at Broad Street Ministry (315 S. Broad Street). A cast of clowns, trapeze artists, lion-tamers and ringmasters perform their routines under a striped awning and glowing lights.  Tickets are on sale for $25 (or $15 with student identification or under 25) by calling (215) 413-1318 or visiting www.philartistscollective.org [4].
