Big fun under the Big Top
by Joy Swanzy
Circus Vargas, the world’s
largest traveling “Big Top”
circus, will appear at the Brazos
County Rodeo Arena in Bryan
Oct. 27-29, performing five
shows.
The two-and-a-half hour
show features over 400
performers and animals from
throughout the world
performing under a tent the
size of a football field.
Debbie Luther, marketing
director for the circus, said one
of the show’s more exciting
acts is Alan Gold, a lion and
tiger trainer who performs
alone in a steel cage with 20
lions and tigers.
Two aerial acts that are sure
to excite the crowd are the
Ayak Bros, and the duo of
Guzman and Camady. The
Ayak Bros., a trapeze act
performed 40 feet above the
ground without a safety net, is
guaranteed to give the
audience thrills, Luther said.
The high-wire duo of Guzman
and Camady entertain on a
three-fourths-inch steel wire
above the crowd.
The $15 million production,
which features a wardrobe
valued at more than half a
million dollars and elephant
blankets costing $5,000 each,
has performed for over 35
million people to date. The
circus travels to over 100 cities
nationwide each year,
performing approximately 600
shows for over 2.5 million
people.
The circus was founded 17
years ago by Clifford Vargas,
whose goal was to return the
circus to the rich tradition it
once was. Vargas believed that
the circus was a slice of
Americana that must not die.
He is not the typical corporate
chief executive, however. He is
often found driving trucks,
taking tickets or helping set up
the tent.
Tent raising ceremonies will
be Oct. 27 at 10:30 a.m. The
tent the circus uses consists of
90,000 square feet of fabric
and takes 40 men six to eight
hours to set up. The opening
performance is scheduled for
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, followed
by shows set for 4:30 and 7:30
p.m. Wednesday and
Thursday.
Advance tickets are on sale
at the Circus Vargas office in
the food court at Post Oak
Mall, at the MSC Box Office,
and at the circus. Students and
faculty members will receive $2
off the regular price, which
ranges from $7.50 to $9.50.
