This trip behind-the-scenes at the circus provides an intimate glimpse of what it's like to work under the Big Top.

As ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson describes it, "Everybody becomes your family. You have elephant cousins and zebra uncles!” And what a family it is: 225 members of the cast and crew and 58 animals, all of which travel along with 480 tons of equipment on the world's largest privately owned train. Performers, clowns and animal trainers spill show-biz secrets in interviews and are observed rehearsing routines and dreaming up breathtaking new ones. Access is given to all areas except Clown Alley, which the comic entertainers are seen entering and later exiting in costume. (including an extensive interview with my Clown College Room mate (and current Boss Clown of the Red Unit) Jay Stewart.
