I recently had the pleasure of visiting the historic Big Apple Circus. It was, in one word, AMAZING. Conceived & founded by Paul Binder in 1974—it all began in Kent, England, when Paul and co-founder Michael Christensen became juggling partners & took to the streets of Europe. Their comedic juggling act was a hit, and they soon found themselves on the stage of the presitigous Nouveau Cirque de Paris. They returned home to America in 1976 with a vision: to entertain and improve the lives of millions. One year later, they found a site for the first tent-raising in Battery Park, New York, and went on to create the award-winning, not-for-profit @BigAppleCircus.
