APPLAUSE UNLIMITED
offers a wide range of performances featuring fresh presentations of classic tales. Their approach includes puppets, storytelling, music, masks, magic, and comedy in a unique combination that quietly educates as it entertains. Applause Unlimited cofounder,
Christopher Hudert
is a versatile artist whose skills include script writing, sculpting, set and puppet construction, puppetry, clowning, stilt walking, juggling and much more. While a Theater Education major at Virginia Commonwealth University, Christopher put his studies on hold to attend Ringling Bros. Clown College. Offered a chance to join the Circus, he accepted a clown contract and, for nine years, toured the U.S. and Japan. He was Boss Clown for Ringling before leaving the show to join in the creation of Applause Unlimited. Christopher tours, performing, giving lectures, and teaching workshops on both clowning and puppetry throughout the country.
