Talk to a clown when he’s not wearing his makeup and costume and discover he has very nice teeth and normal-sized feet. His sense of humor, however, remains irrepressible.

The Troubadour Theater Company is presenting “Clowns’ Labours Lost,” another of its Shakespearean romps, as part of the Santa Monica Civic Light Opera’s summer season.

“The clown character is the actor,” says Troubadour’s Artistic Director Matt Walker. “Imagine these clowns reading the want ads and seeing a casting call for Love’s Labours Lost. When the clown gets out there, how will he act Shakespeare?”

The performances are free to children 15 and under. “The whole show was created with kids in mind,” he says. That may be, but his mere descriptions of the buffoonery are enough to set an adult chortling.

As Walker describes it, “It’s a simple boy-meets-girl kind of thing, but with physicality.” The show opens with pure clowning, then 10 minutes of the story, then more “eye candy.” Accompanying the dialogue are pies in the face, foot stomps and eye pokes.

“If I just have clowns speaking verse,” he says, “I’m not being true to clowning. If I just do Shakespeare, I miss all the physical stuff Shakespeare must have done.” So he asked himself what the play would look like through the eyes of a clown, as well as through the eyes of a child. “After all, I have a pretty short attention span, too.” The show runs an easy 90 minutes. He wanted to call the show “Clowns’ Labours Lost And You’ll Be Home In Time For E.R.”

He says the production is in the period, “cramming the girls into their bodices.”

Girl clowns? Can a lovely, young performer the likes of Malibuite Rachel Wolfe do physical comedy?

“I think I feel more comfortable being silly,” she says. “It comes more easily to me. It’s less of an act.”

Coming from an academic family (her father is an English professor at USC and CSUN, her mother is psychologist Bonnie Wolfe), she turned her focus on “more artistic endeavors,” attending Santa Monica High School where she studied theater with Dr. Frank Ford. Having attended the graduate program at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, she says she is still learning. “This play has really stretched me,” she says. “I had to overcome psychological blocks that inhibit you from flying through the air in the general direction of your head toward the cement.” The troupe rehearsed on trampolines and crash mats.

When the company first met to work on the play, Walker in essence asked each actor to find his or her inner clown. Says Wolfe, “Some is from the outside in, some unconsciously develops as you’re working and as you play off what other actors are doing.”

“I tried to imagine how many clowns I could think of,” says Walker, “from the stereotypical Bozo to the 16th century Pierrot and all the clowns in between.” Each actor took a different clown to match the Shakespeare character — a hobo clown, a bird-like clown, a rainbow-haired clown. He took for himself the “lower-status clown” — goofy, toothless and mischievous.

Walker was born in Santa Monica, then “moved around” until returning for junior high at John Adams. As a child, he made new friends by making hand puppets out of paper bags.

Like Wolfe, Walker studied theater with Ford at Samohi. Now their respective companies share the stage each summer at the high school during the Civic Light Opera season.

After high school, Walker continued to study theater, including physical comedy. At a workshop, his teacher Bill Irwin noticed his out-of-class pranks and remembered him years later. For eight weeks during summer 1997, Walker studied at Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Clown College. “It was like boot camp,” he says. “Six days a week, eight hours a day. We learned clowning, mime, acrobatics, dance, skills — juggling, unicycle.”

He tried joining the circus, but says, “There was no real camaraderie. It was every man for himself.” He also always felt like an understudy, wearing clothes not meant for him, spending too much time backstage while the animals and other acts were on. Walker may be the only person to have run away from the circus, not quite two months into the gig.

“To me, circus has always been about bringing it to the people — getting in their faces and sharing the experience.” He’s happy to see kids scraping up shaving cream after the show and hurling it at one another. “They go home and say they got to squirt a clown.”

Troubadour Theater Company has another important appearance Aug. 11 — before the Santa Monica City Council and probably not in clown costume (although don’t put it past Walker). The company wishes to use the Miles Playhouse at Reed Park (formerly Lincoln Park) for an ongoing program of youth theater activities.

Walker hopes Clowns’ Labours Lost will leave young theater-goers understanding and even liking Shakespeare. “Let’s take Shakespeare out of the library and onto the stage,” he says.

What of audience members who don’t like being teased or touched by the clowns? “Leave ’em alone,” he says.

Any downsides to clowning? “White makeup in the ears is the bane of a clown’s existence,” he answers. He also occasionally leaves the theater having forgotten he’s blacked out a tooth.

“Clowns’ Labours Lost” plays Aug. 6-9, 20-23, 28-29 at 8 p.m. at Santa Monica High School’s outdoor Greek Theatre, free to children 15 and under. Alternates with “Cabaret.” Call 458-5939 for schedule and tickets.

I have read with interest a news article, “Letters to the editor” and “From the Publisher” regarding Malibu City Attorney Christi Hogin.Your reporting of the July 28 city council meeting has brought about this firm’s first letter ever to a newspaper regarding a public issue.

Christi Hogin is an able, intelligent and professional city attorney. I have litigated against Christi and I have negotiated with her. She is tough, fair and always keeps her client’s interest, the city of Malibu, in mind. This, of course, includes the requirement that as either a city prosecutor or civil attorney, on behalf of the city, she must comply with the law and the rules of professional conduct. But enough about Christi, for she needs no defense by me.

It is sad to read your description of the actions and statements of certain members of this city before the City Council. Did we incorporate for this? Perhaps those who spoke at the recent City Council meeting are unaware of something well known to a first year lawyer. If you do not have the facts or the law on your side, attack the opponent’s attorney. Personal attacks have no place in city council meeting or a court room. I note, from your reporting, no instances of an attempted retort by Christi. Again, she was maintaining her professionalism.

Are members of this community advocating the use of badgering, intimidation, slander and harassment when issues, important to them, are at stake? I have no idea whether any of these individuals are in fact the subject of the pending campaign violations investigations, but I do know that such investigation should not be rushed or influenced by individuals that may be the subject of such investigation.

Christi Hogin is a good city attorney. It is her professionalism that is the object of the wrath of some constituents. God help this city if Christi leaves and these vocal constituents are able to replace her with somebody who will bend his or her ear, professionalism, knowledge of the law or sense of responsibility to the will and/or whim of one faction or the other.

Let’s get behind Christi and let her know that we not only support her, we need her.

Regarding the matter of the alleged violations of the Malibu Election Law, we have adopted a nonpartisan resolution, deploring the personal attacks on and continuing harassment of our city attorney and others, contributing to the perception that Malibu is a vicious and mean-spirited community.

We demand that our laws be enforced equally, fairly and impartially, regardless of party or factional affiliation in accordance with legally acceptable principles and procedures.

Please join us in this resolution which we will present to the City Council. Call 317-1693 and leave your name, and if you have no objection, your telephone number so that we may provide you with further information.

[NOTE: Since I faxed this letter out on Friday, I have received calls from Gary Timm at the California Coastal Commission Ventura office, city of Malibu Code Enforcement Officer Keith Young and two city councilpersons — Carolyn Van Horn and Tom Hasse. All have expressed concern about the legality of this structure.]

Homeowners on Riviera One (Zumirez Drive on Point Dume) have constructed a large sign on the beach. It was finished July 29. The purpose of this sign is to intimidate the public into believing they have no right to use the beach.

The sign is already doing its job. That morning a beach visitor told me, “My girlfriend was afraid to go past the sign. I told her the beach is public. It is . . . isn’t it?”

The sign is located at the foot of the bluff between Paradise Cove and what is popularly called “Hut Beach,” below and a bit east of the Streisand property. It stands 7-feet 4-inches high on a 3″X3″ square steel post buried in cement perhaps three or four feet deep in the rock outcropping. Because it sits on an outcropping, it towers 12 or 15 feet over the adjacent beach. The 4’1″ high X 3’1″ wide sign itself is white, secured on a heavy steel frame, with a protective cover of plastic bolted on. The three-inch high square lettering in red and black reads:

PRIVATE PROPERTY

NO TRESPASSING

CA. PENAL CODE SEC. 602 (N)

MALIBU RIVIERA

ONE

OWNERS ONLY

NO LIFEGUARD

ON DUTY

The present location of the sign was apparently a second choice. A few feet away, under a fresh 10-foot high, four-foot deep destabilizing cavity at the bottom of the bluff is an abandoned hole in the rock filled with standing water and cement bleeding over the side. The foot-deep, two-foot-wide hole is a perfect place for a toddler to drown.

This structure stands out, away from the base of the cliff. It changes the entire aspect of the beach, like so much garbage strewn at the bottom of the cliff. It is a raw scar on the landscape — unsettling, intrusive and arrogant.

What has happened to our environmentally sensitive City Council? Are they all asleep? Did the city grant a building permit for this monstrosity? If so, they have little regard for the public. Did the Coastal Commission OK this thing? If so, they have abandoned their mandate.

This abominable sign has a profound impact on a once-graceful stretch of beach. It as alien as a spaceship. It displays all the courtesy of a punch in the face. How can people willfully damage the environment like this?

It confirms everyone’s image of Malibu: elitist, rich, uncaring and exclusive. If we acquiesce in the creation of such aggressively hostile structures, we are that image, and we deserve to be held in contempt by those who will be deterred from respite on these beautiful beaches.

If we do not take the part of the public, most of us, certainly our children and grandchildren, inevitably one day will be on the outside looking in.

Do the Riviera One homeowners actually think they are going to keep the public off that beach? Their fear of liability and their right to post a (smaller) sign does not grant them the right to blight the beach and to bully people. If their concern is about environmental damage, they should stop treating the public like morons and should instead post educational signs in three or four languages, explaining littoral habitats and granting visitors the dignity of concluding that they have a part to play in protecting nature.

I urge the appropriate governmental body to order this sign removed immediately. The homeowners can put up their “posted” sign in a less intrusive manner — something that takes into account that there are other human beings on the planet. I am the first to champion private property rights, but this sign is overkill. It is a slide into despotism.

The beaches belong to the people! It is the law.
