1983 Big Apple Circus #1


A nice set of pictures taken by David Orr in Pittsfield, Mass. July 11, 1973 showing the new marquee recently built in Sarasota.
This was our second year with the show, Ben and "Anna May" had been there the year before but were booked with Vargas this season.
So I sent my wife and Dalilah  over there with "Toto" while I remained in Baraboo with "George", "Peggy" and "Mack".
Oddly enough I never even saw this show until 1974.


Also included are Mr. Orr's comments.

Something is wrong here. The BAC was only founded in 1977.

Wonderful pics Dave, especially appreciate the pics of Francis, Jim and Tisha.

I 1st saw BAC in the late 70s in

a rather smaller top that played

on the empty lot that had been

the site of the "old" 3rd MSG

I was visiting Ron Morris who

had the concessions back then

That year's schedule Buckles was

certainly a whole new version of

a "split season" but you didn't

mention where Shannon went
