This week on Curtain Call, Tom Candela sits down with Ellie J—known onstage as Clown Daddy—for a spirited dive into clowning as a true art form. From physicality and comic timing to vulnerability and catharsis, Ellie shares how laughter becomes a doorway to something deeper. We talk persona vs. performer, her solo spin on Shakespeare, and the next chapter as she prepares for a West Coast move.
Plus, in The Roving Thespian, Tom heads to Narrowsburg, NY, for Catskill Public Theatre’s Woodstock Ripples.
