Theater We Saw: Sugar Sugar! (DeliaDelia & Pussypaws Puppetry) + Xhloe And Natasha: And Then The Rodeo Burned Down with Jacob Robinson

Scully and Sims are joined by playwright Jacob Robinson as New York tips fully into summer—Knicks fever during the Finals and Sting (plus Shaggy) rewriting The Last Ship over at the Met. Then it's out to the Williamsburg waterfront for Sugar Sugar!, Theresa Buchheister and Alessandra Gómez's free outdoor series at Domino Park, where a double bill of DeliaDelia and Pussypaws Puppetry somehow won over a crowd of unsuspecting families, teenagers, and passersby. The three dig into what clown can pull off in a wide-open public space, the radical joy of disabled artists putting sexuality front and center, and why it all kept conjuring Mister Rogers.

Finally, up to Ars Nova for And Then The Rodeo Burned Down, three-time Edinburgh Fringe First winners Xhloe and Natasha's Ars Nova debut—a meta clown-western about ambition, shifting goalposts, and the cost of making art.

Connor's currently producing Big Feelings by Ryan Drake, starring Julia Greer—tickets on sale now at bigfeelingstheplay.com
