14Y Theater Presents: The Adventures of Sleepyhead
From award-winning clown Gemma Soldati, The Adventures of Sleepyhead is an otherworldly, interactive hour that explores the tick-tock of our internal clock. Children and adults alike will delight in this adventure to the heart of dreamland as Sleepyhead fends off the Zzz!
The Adventures of Sleepyhead promises better dreams and a good night sleep… or your money back.
About Gemma Soldati:
Gemma Soldati is an American performing and teaching artist. She won Best Comedy at the 2019 Melbourne Fringe and Artist of the Year 2023 from Stay Work Play. Currently a resident at Ars Nova’s Makers Lab in NYC, Gemma’s focus is clown inspired work, developed in front of live audiences. Her projects playfully dive deep into the heart of vital themes, probing audiences with questions and meaning making – grief, ritual, sleep, dreams, money, power, and beyond.
The Adventures of Sleepyhead was developed at the New Hampshire Theatre Project and had a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe at Assembly in 2022. Sleepyhead has also been adapted into a short video series for NHPBS with support from the New Hampshire Humanities. The videos won her Best Performance at the 2022 NH Film Festival. The show has since been adapted into a children’s book illustrated by Sarah Diamond.
