Christine is originally from Palmer, where her parents still reside, but currently lives in Northampton with her husband Patrick and 4 year old daughter Pearl.

She started Clowntique 10 years ago after a career in Children’s Theater, spending 13 years touring the country with stage shows such as Alvin and the Chipmunks Rockin’ through the Decades and the Magic School Bus. Christine opened CLOWNTIQUE in January of 1999 and has since provided entertainment to corporate and private clients throughout New England and New York.

Clowntique employs approximately a dozen very talented entertainers from magicians to Santa Claus and more.

Please join us on June 12, 2008 at the Delaney House’s where WBOA will honor Christine’s accomplishments.
