  • Off The Mark

    Aspiring Jouster Show

    Collideope Marx is a farm girl from the ever-nearby town of Bumpkinton, destined for glory as "the greatest jouster never discovered!" There's just one problem. She has no idea what she's doing. She won't let that stop her, though.

    With the help of her hobby horses Crumble, Fumble, and Farfignugan (The Joust Horses Union) Collideope engages audience volunteers in classic joust games with a safe and clowny twist.

    The joust horses are more than props they're co-stars.
