Gale LaJoye's Snowflake

In 1990, Snowflake premiered in Minneapolis and Marquette and LaJoye then embarked on a global tour. For the last 28 years, LaJoye’s Snowflake has toured throughout Asia, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Scotland, Ireland and the United States. Hailed by critics and audiences alike as “a must see,” and “one of America’s finest theatrical clowns” LaJoye has performed Snowflake over two thousands of times. In Japan alone, he toured Snowflake to 300 cities.
Ten years ago LaJoye announce his final performance here in Marquette thinking there was no more interest out there for the production, and then the phone rang. Another ten years and hundreds of performances later, it is now time to retire this production of Snowflake. “After all, twenty eight years is a pretty good run if I may so myself”. His next production, a staged memoir, is slated to premiere next year. With forty three years of experiences, as they say in Washington, he has a story to tell.
