In Clowns By Dead Reckoning, Kendall Cornell and her 11-women clown troupe present a semi-sophisticated evening of music and dance in their unique clown style. At La Mama Experimental Theater April 11–13, some French can-can legs, some flamenco feet, and a torch singer’s set of pipes make a full-bodied cocktail of an evening—all with delightful humor and suitable irreverence.
