CHRISTY CLOWN & FRIENDS
WHOLESOME FAMILY FUN
SINCE 1975

"Christy Clown" was created for a Christmas performance in 1975 by former Chicago singer/actress Jana Lapel. Drawing on five years of experience with a children's theatre company in Chicago…she agreed to perform for her first booking as a solo children's performer. Thinking she was just doing this one-time "gig" to help out her agent/friend, she had no idea this event would be the start of a career lasting more than 30 years.









The Troupe proudly announces the release of their new "Concert CD"















Jana's daughter, Melissa Millman heads up the face painting crew. (see photos ) The troupe's talent pool allows for flexibility in creating the right entertainment for your event. With more than three decades of performances behind them….there is a long list of references available.
