This is exactly whathappened, however, when Georga andLaine performed their %u201cClown Fam ilies%u201dact at the Brooklyn Children%u2019s Museumbefore an enthusiastic crowd on August 7th.This show was just one of many activitiesthe museum has scheduled for this summerin conjunction with its %u201cFam ilies%u201d exhibit.The exhibit is oriented towards the fam ilybecause they are the main summer audience, and although there have been otherthem atic exhibits, this is the first of thismagnitude, explained Timothy Doyle,Special Events Coordinator, of the eventthat remains open through 1986. Drawingcrowds of about 500 daily since it opened inJuly, the display includes a live mousefam ily, a full wall %u201cFam ilies Around theWorld%u201d map with peepholes that reveal avariety of fam ilies ranging from dioramasof the Chinese and Africans to more liveanim als, such as fish. You can also see veryoriginal comparisons of the human to theanimal fam ily, such as the two dioramascomparing a fam ily of house wrens preparing their nest to a fam ily of Barbie dollspreparing a nursery. The performancesenhance the permanent display.Although this show focused on clownfam ilies, it included acts on the humanfam ily and animal fam ilies. Georga Accolaand Laine Barton were clown %u201csisters%u201d whofought and hugged just as real sisters do,and in between the love and war, they puton a show that drew the majority of the audience off the floor and into the act. After am usical rendition of %u201cMe and My Shadow,%u201dand a skit that showed ways to express youremotions that involved dozens of kids running in circles with clenched fists, or bitingtheir nails screeching %u2018Yikes!%u2019 along withthe stars, the music cam e on for a new version of Little Miss Muffet, and the kidsstarted clapping to the music simultaneously, without even the encouragement of theclowns.Next came the %u201cClown Auditions,%u201d withdifferent parts for many of the %u201cpick m e%u201dBe A Family Affair AsMuseum workshopcalls from the audience. No longer theslightest bit self-conscious, there was anabundance of cries of %u201cMe, m e!%u201d when oneof thetflowns announced %u201cWe need a verypretty girl for this part.%u201d Georga and Laineasked for the expertise of their apprenticesin matters such as lion roars and children%u2019srhymes. They even made one particularhandicapped young girl their special assistant when she showed a marked interest inperforming with them.During a m agic show towards the end ofthe show, one clown made the other disappear, or so she thought. Twelve-year-oldSerise Rodgers explained that %u201cshe wasreally just hiding behind her,%u201d while theother kids called %u201cEbee, look behind you!%u201dAfter a joyful reunion, a fun finale, andabout 30 costume changes in less than anhour, it seemed everyone was quite satisfedwith the entertainment. Well, almosteveryone. One young girl went up to aclown, tugged on her costume, and asked%u201cWhy didn%u2019t you pick m e?%u201d This of course,led to a happy ending for her as well,because she immediately had a special froghat placed on her head, was told to pull thestring and say %u201cGribbit,%u201d and was namedthe special fairy godmother, much to hersurprise and delight.The Fam ilies exhibit is just part of theBrooklyn%u2019s Children%u2019s Museum, the world%u2019sfirst of its kind, which houses about 45,000item s for children to see, often touch, andusually learn from.
