Spring 2026

Clowning for Actors
Physical Comedy Workshop with Michael Galligan

  • Saturday, February 21 at 11 a.m.
  • Black Box Studio Theatre, 129 John Myers Building, 26 Rugar Street, Plattsburgh, N.Y.
  • Free to S.A. Members (Space is Limited)

This spring, the SUNY Plattsburgh Department of Theatre is offering Clowning for Actors, a physical comedy workshop led by Brooklyn-based guest artist Michael Galligan. 

Clowning is a theatrical form that places physical expression above words, presence above preparation, and being honest above being funny. In this workshop, performers will learn to not only live in "the flop," but embrace that place of failure through physical comedy and connection to the audience.

Michael Galligan, is an actor, producer, and teaching artist. His work has been developed and performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Cannonball Festival, PortFringe, 59E59 Theater and the Upper Jay Art Center. His solo clown show, BANANA, was called a "comedic tour de force" in a five-star review from The Interrobang's Top Comedy Picks of the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe. Michael is a Lead Teaching Artist with Irondale Center, as well as a Teaching Artist with the Classical Theater of Harlem, Queens Theater, and New York-Presbyterian Hospital's Lang Youth Medical Program. More information on Michael can be viewed at his website, www.michaelgalligan.com. 

Clowning for Actors is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Black Box Studio Theatre (Myers 129) in the John Myers Building. This event is free to SA Members, but space is limited. Please pre-register at our events site via Cardinal Link.

From New Play Exchange:
When He comes into her life with promises of the adventures She’s always wanted, She willingly lets him take her along for the ride, despite warning signs, warnings from family and friends and disasters coming their way exponentially by the moment. But when push comes to shove at the bottom of everything, He unwittingly lights her pathway to befriend the inner monster She’s pushed down her whole life, start fresh and meet herself for the first time — though not without plenty of monstrous aftermath.

This one night performance of Take Me Away: A Train Wreck With Monsters will be performed as a staged reading in the Hartman Theatre. Admission will be $5 General Admission, with tickets sold in our online box office, or at the Myers Box Office (CASH ONLY) the evening of the event.

From www.michaelajeffery.com:
In the garage of her suburban duplex, twelve-year-old Josephine makes apocalypse preparedness videos and posts them to YouTube. Vic takes Jujitsu. Maureen encrypts her text messages and hordes matches (because lighters fail). Sarah stuffs her knapsack with extra socks, granola, water filtration tablets and Tolkien novels, because “you don’t know where you’re going to be… when it happens… you might not be at home.”​ Convinced the world at large can’t be trusted to prioritize the well-being of adolescent girls in the event of a cataclysmic event (or just in general), this determined troupe of 8th grade ‘doomers’ are committed to preparing for survival in the post -collapse society they anticipate inheriting. Judy Blume meets Rambo, WROL (Without Rule of Law) is a darkly comic coming-of-age story for complicated times.

Without Rule of Law will be performed at the Hartman Theatre on April 10 to April 12. Admission will be $12 for General Admission, and $5 for SA Members. Tickets for this event will be sold in our online box office, or at the Myers Box Office (CASH ONLY) the evenings of the performances.
