ABOUT US

 

Big Foot Clown Alley's goal is to perpetuate professionalism, education, and fun in the art of clowning.  

The alley is a non-profit organization.

PRAYER OF A CLOWN

Help me to create more laughter than tears,
dispense more happiness than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.
Never let me grow so big that I will fail 
to see the wonder in the eyes of a child
or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that I am a CLOWN...
that my work is to cheer people up,
make them forget momentarily all the unpleasant 
things in their lives...
Never let me jeopardize the integrity of clowndom 
by improper conduct.  Help me to
always make others proud of my actions 
as a clown.
Never let me acquire financial success to the 
point where I will discontinue calling upon
my Creator in the hour of plenty.

Big Foot Clown Alley Ethics Policy

I will remember that when people see me in costume and make-up, that they are seeing ALL clowns.
When in or out of make-up and costume I will conduct myself in a gentleman/ladylike manner.
I will keep my acts, performance and behavior in good taste while I am in costume and make-up.  I will remember that clowns entertain others by making fun of himself and not at the expense or embarrassment of others.
I will learn to apply make-up in a professional manner.  I will maintain the highest  standards of make-up, costuming, properties, and comedy as a Big Foot Alley member.
I will abstain from alcoholic beverages or smoking before and during participation in any public appearance.
I will support my fellow clowns in their clowning endeavors.
I will continue to further my education.
I will fulfill my commitments on time.
As an active member of Big Foot Clown Alley, I will fulfill the requirements of an active member, and take part in the role of officer or chairman, as I am able to do so.
I will respect all people and their opinions, even if I disagree with that opinion.  I will not make derogatory comments regarding other clowns, individuals or organizations.

The alley will encourage you to refine your clown skills, and share your abilities.  To help in your training, the alley has a complete lending library of books, tapes, and magazines.
