Narrowsburg – On Saturday, March 8th, at 2pm, as part of DVAA’s Salon Series, Krause Recital Hall will be filled with songs, silliness and puppets!

In her show, “The Guest”, Clown Daddy is expecting a very distinguished guest, and preparations must be made! Join her as she sings, dances, and cavorts about with her puppet friends in readiness for their guest’s arrival. Enjoyable for all ages.  

Clown Daddy, also known as Ellie J, is a Sullivan County-based actress-turned-clown blessed with a flair for physical comedy and a knack for puppet antics. Having trained at Atlantic Theatre Company in New York City and L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris, she delights in testing the power of embodiment and catharsis in the organism of the performer. Her performances lean towards vaudevillian slapstick, with a dose of rich emotions and just a smattering of metaphysical humor. To see upcoming events, visit clowndaddypresents.com
