Mar-E-Lynn The Clown©

Two types of parties Indoors and Outdoors:

• Indoor Shows are always much better than outdoor shows because there are fewer distractions and the children are sitting in a confined area. Ideally the children should sit on the floor. The fewer obstacles between them and Mar-E-Lynn The Clown, the better. All toys and games should be picked up and put out of view.

• Outside Shows have many more distractions for the children. There is also the tendency for children to want to run around. For an outside show, please provide a shaded area for Mar-E-Lynn The Clown to do her show. Mar-E-Lynn and the children will be using a lot of energy during the show and in the extreme heat and humidity this is not an easy thing to do under the blaring sun. Also keep in mind that your party might not be the first party Mar-E-Lynn will have to perform outdoors that day. There should be blankets or chairs for the children to sit on. All toys and games should be picked up and put out of view and the children should sit facing away from any swing set.

Children have a very short attention span. The best way to keep the children’s attention is by keeping distractions and disruptions to a minimum. A few simple rules will help Mar-E-Lynn greatly.

1.                  At least one adult should be present in order to control any children that may be misbehaving or causing a disturbance. *Remember that you have hired someone to perform not to baby it. If Mar-E-Lynn has to constantly ask the children to sit and be quiet, than she is no longer an entertainer.

2.                  Please don’t give children food, snacks or drinks during the Entertainment Comedy Show because it is a distraction, their enthusiasm may suffer and could create a mess.

3.                  Noise is also a major distraction for the children during the Entertainment Comedy Show. Music and TV should be turned off.

4.                  Adult background conversation should take place in another room, especially during the Entertainment Comedy Show. For Mar-E-Lynn to try and talk louder than 30 talking adults is very difficult. If the children can’t hear, they will not enjoy the show.

Together with your help, your child can have a most memorable party.
