Clown Ministry Skits for All Seasons, by Floyd Shaffer
Mr. Shaffer takes the reader through the liturgical calendar year and gives some good ideas for holiday-related clowning. I, personally, find the skits presented limited since they are all silent, as Mr. Shaffer does all of his clown ministry. But they will give you ideas on what you or your clown troupe can do.
I rate it 3 clowns out of 5.
You might want to check out Clown Ministry and If I Were A Clown, also by Mr. Shaffer, both highly recommended.
