Clown Classes
The Quad City Clown Troupe will host clown classes in June. The class spans nine days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week. (June 14-16, 21-23, and 28-30).

Each opportunity we have to perform is one that will help keep the spirit of family entertainment alive.
There is a little circus in each one of us. The tent goes up and music starts in our mind as
