Directed by Grossmont College Theatre Arts instructor Jerry Hager and based on a children's book, the play explores bullying and offers a message of tolerance and inclusion. "Blue" is a quiet clown in the Circus of Colors. "Red" is the ringmaster who picks on "Blue." The other clowns don't like what they see, but what can they do?
"Blue" is this year's children's touring show, but will be performed for all audiences at the Stagehouse Theatre on
Oct. 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.
