Clown Sex Ed   
TRIBE OF FOOLS

Clown Sex Ed is a hilarious romp through the challenges, the failures and the horror stories of American sex education. Tara Demmy and Zachary Chiero (Fishtown, Zombies with Guns) poke fun at your gym teacher, your health class and your parents' awkward talk and examine not only what they said but more importantly what they left out. 
Available to tour!

Past Shows and Projects

Below are photos from some of my favorite projects. For a full list of past shows and projects, click here.
 STUDIO SHOW (VILLANOVA)
Photos from We Must Share Everything at Villanova University. Featuring a grotesque clown piece called "Body Doors." Photos by Ann Marley.​
YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL - Tara Demmy, Hallie Martensen, &   Meghan Winch     2016
Photos from our run at Good Good Comedy. A show about millennials that utilizes the satirical, mock-the-audience style of bouffon to explore this doomed(?) generation, their impractical dreams, and crippling anxiety. Oh, and Chekhov's The Seagull. ​
FAKE OFF,  SEASON 2 - TruTV          2015
Reality show where circus, dance, and theatre groups compete weekly with a new theme/challenge. I performed as part of Tribe of Fools, a Philadelphia based physical theatre company.  
KAREN'S DREAM - ManiPedi Sketch          2015
Promotional pictures for Karen's Dream, an original sketch show combining sketch, music, dance, and spoken word. Performed at Philly Improv Theater and Plays and Players Theater (Philadelphia).

Photos from two Villanova mainstage productions.  Photos by Paola Nogueras.
ZOMBIES...WITH GUNS - Tribe of Fools, Philly Fringe     2015
Tribe of Fools comically shreds our cultural ideas about guns with “strategic pandemonium, athleticism, clamor and comic touches.” I really enjoyed this process - this is one of ToF's touring shows - click here for more information.
BOUFFON RESIDENCY - Drop Forge & Tool          2015
Created work with Soledad Ensemble in week-long residency. Created site-specific bouffon performance focusing on the themes of home. Photos by Marc Scrivo.
