Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Step right up, step right up. Come closer, you won't believe your eyes. Behind this curtain, witness something you've never seen before, heard before, dreamt before. Circus! Circus! was founded in 1933 by then 37-year-old Nicholas Siegel. The performance started out small with only a few clowns, a lion tamer, a fire breather, some horses and a bicycle act performed by Siegel's children (today, that bicycle act has been replaced by a motorcycle act). In 1960, Siegel's oldest son, 33-year-old Luke took the reins as ringmaster only to be replaced twelve years later by his 30-year-old brother Damien, who was joined in the circus life by his young wife Emma, the circus' very first aerialist. Like his father, Damien sought to keep it a family affair and all four of his sons have acts under the big top, one of whom recently took over his father's position as ringmaster making him the youngest in the history of the circus. Over the years, the show has grown to become one of the most well-known traveling circuses in the country, delighting audiences of all ages across the United States. Newly opened, this is a community based around the "behind the rings" lives of the circus performers and crew of Circus! Circus! as they travel throughout the country, work and live with one another. Being with people in such close quarters is always a means for events to happen and like everyone else, they fall in love, form friendships, make enemies, raise families and enjoy what technology has to offer, among other things. Live the circus life that the audience never sees under the big top. Whether your character's life under the big top will be spectacular, spectacular or a complete disaster is totally up to you. |
