Peachtree Clown Alley - General Info:

This page is dedicated to providing information about the PCA; for its members, and those interested in the PCA.

Our "Mission"

The purpose of the Peachtree Clown Alley (PCA) is to promote clowning and clown knowledge to its members and the general public within the Atlanta and surrounding areas. To spread happiness and joy to children of ALL ages. Many of our members perform clowning as a hobby, and so are happy to volunteer their services to events sponsored by nonprofit organizations.

Hire A Clown for your Special Party!

While Clowning is a fun and rewarding hobby, many clowns pursue their craft as a business. Some PCA members perform clowning for profit. Please click on the Member Info link above for details on what services they provide, and how to contact them.

"Volunteer Clowning"

Many clowns in ourAlley perform just for the "Fun of It". They put on shows or attend events for community programs or nonprofit organizations (for "free" or "donations") to benefit children of ALL ages.

All requests for nonprofit clowning services will receive a response as to whether or not the Alley can support the activity.

Support for an event or activity is based upon availability of clowns. Please provide a written (e-mail OK) request for the activity 5 weeks in advance of the date needed.

Requests for support should contain a minimum of the following information: date(s), time(s), location(s), purpose(s), expected turnout, a single point-of-contact (with phone and e-mail info.), In-place time (for a parade), and what kind of support you wish to have donated, (how many clowns desired and what kind of acts you feel would help your activity).

New members are welcome!

The "Rules" of Clowning (???)

As an Alley, we are responsible to our members and our public to act as professionals, even when we are performing as a hobby. And so, we have agreed to certain rules of behavior, both for clown organization, and for individual clowns.
