I will be on PBS over the next two nights (October 8 & 9) as part of The Circus, a four-hour mini-series from American Experience that explores the colorful history of America’s grandest entertainment. Please check local listings for the time in your neck of the woods. The film features a host of images drawn from the excellent assortment of antiquarian circus material in the Harvard Theatre Collection. Congratulations to ringmaster Sharon Grimberg and the cast and crew that made it all possible!
Update: You can see the full film and some neat shorts here.
