Under the Marquee is the Circus Historical Society Blog. It is a place for discussion of Circus History – Past, Present and Future!
For decades performers and fans would get the latest circus news and gossip from The Billboard and the column Under the Marquee. It is our hope to provide you with the same kind of vital information that in the past was only available once a week, when the Mail Agent would deliver the latest issue to the circus lot – now available around the clock!
We urge you to visit often, and unlike the readers of the past your comments, questions and feedback are encouraged!
Welcome to Under the Marquee!
