- KA-ZOWIE
Event Details
BY SCOTT SIMON
Kaa-Zowie opens with Shelly Sullivan and a company of clowns—excuse me, actors who play clowns—on a local television snow in January of 1986. They know that changes in the industry may catch up with their show. And the arrival of a new General Manager at the station—and her daughter—catch up with Shelley’s past. Kaa-zowie is a story about the gift of laughter and the curse of alcoholism. But the laughs cannot drown out the struggle.

"The fact that our son was working with Broadway professionals and getting vocal and acting lessons from people who actually acted on Broadway was stunning."
