Circus Memories

Mike Smith backstage at the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus In 1995. He was doing advance work for them at the time back when the circus was sponsored by Sears. Yes, I know. Sears. Go figure. This was taken at Madison Square Garden. You can see the wardrobe boxes with the clown costumes for " Spec" and the tutus for the ballet number we did with David Larible.


Myself and Pammy, in 1995, about to head out from the Madison Square Garden to do a performance along with other circus performers for patients in the aids wing at Belleview. Eric Michael Gillette, on the far left, organized the performance himself as well as sang and did comedy for it.
