Circus Theatrical Puppet Show
The Pan-Twilight Circus was first performed in Portland, Oregon, at the Echo Theatre, in the winter of 1990. The brainchild of Norman Johnson, a Rhode Island native, the circus used only puppet animals, including a rhino, whooping cranes, and a life-size puppet elephant. The show was about endangered animals, seen through the mythological tales of Icarus and Lilith.
Of that show's thirteen performers, seven were from Rhode Island. Thinking it a little silly to go all that way to be in a show, several of us staged another version of the show here in 1992, in a tent rented from the Circus Smirkus of Vermont.
