Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
Penelope (Penny) Peck more than earned her keep by flying out of Marin Mazie's hands to soar over the stage of the Martin Beck to end the 1st act of "Kiss Me Kate" on Broadway some years back
She was flown like a marionette by a stagehand from the same bat platorm in the same theater as was used for "Dracula's" bats in the late 70s & the platform is still in my warehouse (so are many of the bats)
Hell of a way for a grown man to make a living just playing with toys & gimmicks
