Jet & Anatasha

Jet & Anatasha blend the boundaries of improv, clown, and classical theater. Onstage Colorado recently described the show as, “Astonishing, seamless… something to behold. Comedy unlike anything I’ve ever seen.” Inspired by fantastical worlds and pitiful characters this show is a unique collision of the vision of a Shakespearean actor and with the heart of a clown. Anatasha Blakely is a classical actor, performing with the Utah Shakespeare Festival, the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and was recently in Hamlet at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Jet Eveleth was a clown in the cirque show Absinthe, described by The Huffington Post as, “Mind-altering… poetic and insulting. The greatest show on earth.” Jet also toured with The Second City and was a professor of comedy studies at Columbia College. This unlikely pair of artists have come together to follow absurdity and face the great unknown with truth and presence.
