The Circus is Here

October 22, 2008 - The Ringling Brothers Circus is in Syracuse at the War Memorial with their Boom A Ring show that has white tigers and Asian elephants in it .

But before the fun starts, the team under the production manager, Jason Gibson's commend will have to piece the work that goes behind the show together, which provides the excitement.

"It's a puzzle. You got to get every piece from the cast to the crew to the staff. We need every piece in there. If there’s a missing piece in the puzzle, you don’t have . . . the greatest show on earth," said Gibson.

His team of about 100 people started setting up since 7 a.m Wednesday.  It is just a routine for them. But you have to make sure everything is in place.

“It’s a lot of hard work to get the show up and running,” said Gibson. “I have to make sure every little detail the show is working properly from the sound to the lights to the props.”

Gibson said, in the end, the most important thing that matters to his entire team is putting smiles on people’s faces.

“It’s a passion of entertaining people for a living,” said Gibson.
