Struggles of the Circus

Voice of America and Brian Bull feature a nostalgic, but realistic, article on the future of the Circus and it's struggle to survive...

"Lion tamers, bearded ladies, daring young men on the flying trapeze, and other circus icons have all but disappeared from the mainstream American experience. Today's young people are spending more time and money in arcades and water parks rather than the Big Top. But the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin is taking big steps to win back the crowds."
