I've been absolutely swamped for the past few weeks, getting things ready for a brand new stage production that we're going to launch on stage at the Al Ringling Theatre, in Baraboo, this coming Friday evening, June 15. Show time is scheduled for 7:30 PM. Knowing that a lot of your readers will be invading Baraboo for the CHS and CMB conventions, plus the CIRCUS KIRK Reunion, as well (all slated for next week), we thought it was a perfect time to test drive "CLOWNAROUND" on a live audience. The show will run about an hour-and-a-half and feature some real, old-school circus and theater-style clowning, in addition to a number of variety acts. My Barbara will be doing her foot juggling act in the show, and there will be a couple of newcomers to on the bill, as well. It should be a great evening, and we certainly hope that anyone Baraboo bound for the weekend might consider including it in their evening plans. I have been wanting to launch this show for nearly twenty years...it's like a dream come true for me! A few days after the Al Ringling date, Babs and I take our Mystification show on the road for a few weeks throughout the Midwest. Circus Report should carry the route, and it will also be on our website: www.mystification1.com -- so, if anyone out there is in range of our dates, please come out and say hello! You're always welcomed! In all our recent, ongoing chaos, your blog and the marvelous photos included is the highlight of my day. Thanks for all the terrific postings!!! I look forward to sharing several more historic images from my archives with everyone in a couple of weeks or so, after the dust settles around here a bit. Thanks, Looking forward to seeing everyone heading to Baraboo next week! Tim and Barbara Tegge
