Tomorrow Zirkus Grimm opens, but for me, for one more night, I get to peek at the process that is part intensity, part hard work and part the magic that is a family of performers who work together like a well oiled machine, and maybe a dash of real circus magic. Although the air conditioning is purring now… Tonight there is only one spot light, giving me the challenge of chasing light, the gleam of sweat on the actors and the moments where I’m struggling to focus through the tears in my eyes. Thank you, all of you, for this, for letting me into your space and family.
