We might think circuses have been around as long as there were animals and people to train them! According to the Big Apple website, "classical circus dates back only two centuries, but the elements that compose it can be traced back more than two thousand years. Philip Astley, is the inventor of modern circus as we know it, who upon discharge from a career as a Sergeant Major became a horseback trick-rider (and then went on to build the very first circus ring)."

" The Big Apple Circus traces its history back to Kent, England, 1974, where American entertainers and Big Apple Circus Founder Paul Binder and Co-Founder Michael Christensen crafted a comedic juggling act. They returned home to America in 1976, and one year later created what would become a world-renowned performing arts organization."
