Some Other Day

by Ben Schave and Caitlyn Reilly

Sunday, May 9, 2 - 5 p.m.

Salvage Vanguard Theatre, 2803 Manor Road

Scarves take flight, umbrellas dance, and the occasional bomb goes off in the new slapstick tale of redemptive grief, acceptance through denial, and love from the creators of "Department of Angels".

. . .Some Other Day is the newest slapstick adventure from Schave & Reilly. Featuring the unique clowning of Ben Schave and Caitlin Reilly and a score by Adam Sultan, ...Some Other Day delves into the capricious nature of weather. Slow-motion tango, bad smells, lost luggage,and falling in love at the bus-stop are but a few of the rain-drenched vignettes in this lovely and emotional clown play.

Upcoming: Department of Angels, Schave & Reilley at the Blue Theatre, June 26 - 28

UPDATE: Review by Jonelle Seitz in the Austin Chronicle, July 2: "Schave & Reilly, who are husband and wife and who met in clown college, are just about as charming onstage as can be. They are well-paired artists of physical comedy as well as of concept – we're not talking Ronald McDonald here. Though their work is clean enough for kids, it's timeless and layered."

In Department of Angels, heaven is a bureaucracy. Yep, that's right, being an Angel is an office job. Two bungling Angels clock in, sign out their equipment (halos & clouds!), and immediately fill their bureaucratic jobs with slapstick comedy antics. From their cloud cubicle, they pull pranks on each other, trip and slip and knock and fall down, and sneak samples of the peace, joy, and love they are supposed to dole out. Ultimately, they go too far. Purely ridiculous, Department of Angels is smart and uproarious vaudeville style clowning complete with whoopee cushion and red telephone.

Department of Angels is the latest offering from the slapstick geniuses, SCHAVE & REILLY in Austin, TX. Heralded as the sweet retro surprise of the fringe by the St. Paul Pioneer Press as part of the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival, Department of Angels received the Frontera Fringe Festival wild card Best of the Fest award in 2007.
