Over the waves is Circus Finelli's maritime clown adventure. This is a theatrical-style circus show, a tale of four inept sailors who voyage out on the open ocean and meet inevitable disaster. Over the waves premeired last August at the Festival Strongylus clown festival in Chihuahua, Mexico, and this is the first time this show will be presented in Southern California.

Molly Shannon, Luz Gaxiola, and Mahsa Matin of Circus Finelli are all currently performing with the "Medical Clown Project" in San Francisco. The Medical Clown Project provides therapeutic medical clowning as an integrated component of care for adult and pediatric patients and their families. 

The clowns also benefit the community milieu by lightening the mood of healthcare providers and staff. For more information on the Medical Clown Project, visit  http://www.medicalclownproject.org/.

Mahsa Matin named "Best One-Woman Band" by the SF Weekly:
