It was so great to see and catch up with my RBBB Clown College classmate Lorraine Gilman, now a puppeteer based in Boston, and to learn all about the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity at the reunion hosted by our Clown College classmate Jay Stewart to which I have less than six degrees of separation [...]

We’ve got the rental car. We’ve packed our bags. My Kid has her bear and her doll safely strapped into toy car seats and we are on the road–on the way to Cape Cod for the Clown College Reunion, hosted by none other than the great and powerful Jay Stewart! Wheeeee!
