Clowning isn’t just a hobby for Bowling Green senior Cassidy Resch; it’s a lifestyle. Resch has performed as clown Twinkle Jon Stinkle since early 2023, using their background in theatre and dance to supply their clown with life. Resch is a clown, with or without makeup.

“Everyone’s a clown,” they said. “Few are brave enough to show it.”

Although Resch does not dress as a clown often, they said they enjoy doing so to go out and meet all sorts of people. The musical theatre major hopes to be a clown or on stage for their future career.
