The Tri-Rivers Clown Alley is an organization of dedicated people who
earn money by donating their time and talents to entertain "children of
all ages." All donations and moneys earned are used strictly for
charitable purposes. To assure this each member supplies their own
make-up, costumes and personal props. No officer or member receives any
compensation for their services. The Alley does, however, provide balloons
or handouts at various clowning events.
The Tri-Rivers Clown Alley is the official Pittsburgh Area Alley
Representative of the World Clown Association (WCA) and the Clowns of
America International (COAI). Each month a professional or new clown
joins the Tri-Rivers Clown Alley which adds to the millions of clowns
throughout the world.
No experience is necessary. If the clown has the enthusiasm, time and
energy to expand their personal "Funology" then he/she can become a
"Clownologist". A new clown is taught the "Art of Make-up," "Ballonology"
and "Conduct on Clowning", as well as the general rules of clowning.
Nancy has had the opportunity to attend some clown seminars and work
with the professionals at seven of the Tri-Rivers Gigs. A thumb print on
