The funtastical friendship of morro and jasp
Clown sisters Morro and Jasp – the kind of clown everybody likes – love to share adventures and cheese sandwiches but don’t always like it when the other one wants to lead the pretending. Learning to get along and listen, The Funtastical Friendship of Morro and Jasp is a zany look at what it takes to be friends (and stay friends) forever. Great for the whole family – even you, Grandpa!

Press and Praise:“Heather Marie Annis and Amy Lee have engaging chemistry in this clown-centred children’s show about two imaginative, red-nosed sisters who discover the importance of cooperation.”
Jon Kaplan, Now Magazine, Toronto, 2006
“With their adorable costumes and exuberant energy, the clown-sister titular characters capture the essence of being a child, bringing to mind Loonette the Clown and Gilda Radner's Judy Miller character. This is amusing, sweet and innocent fare that will charm and inspire its viewers.

The bully show: Clown in the round
A new interactive approach to dealing with bullying
Faced with a difficult bullying problem, Morro and Jasp are called in to help investigate possible solutions through some good old clowning around. As Jasp (played by Jasp) arrives for her first day at a new school she meets Morro (played by Morro), the local bully, who decides that she is the perfect new target. Things go from bad to worse for new girl Jasp.
Discover the power of the bystander through peer mediation. As these loveable and laughable clowns interact with the audience through theatre in the round, they invite kids to get involved and suggest their own approaches for dealing with bullies. Children learn to stand up for themselves and for those around them who just might need a helping hand.
An exciting new collaboration with Mixed Company Theatre. Learn more about them here.
