The Creative Circus

"The Circus began with such good will and kindness. We all knew that we were on to something great. Something important. Something lasting. We changed the arc of many lives. The cumulative efforts of all involved yielded enormous satisfaction and lifelong personal relationships. The ongoing mission was ALL about the students and their success.

There was an energy that permeated inside the building. The students could feel it walking in the door. They cared for each other. They pushed each other. They gave as good as they got. We won lots of awards, and we did it together. The collective, us. The creative, us. The Creative Circ(US).

I wish you all the very best in The Circus' rebirth, and one last thing to remember, The Sun Will Never Set on The Empire of The Circus. TRUTH."

*My words shared here are in respect for, and love of, the late Betty Gammage. She was a key Creative Circus Co-Founder, major Shareholder, the Registrar, the Director of the Norm Grey Scholarship Foundation, Producer of Student Show and Graduation ceremonies, and a huge fan of hundreds of Circus alumni.
