DVD review of "SawDust" by Ed Limbach

“SAWDUST”
A UNIQUE PRESENTATION

A DVD REVIEW
BY
EDWARD W. LIMBACH
DIRECTOR-PUBLIC RELATIONS AND MEDIA
CIRCUS FANS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA

In this unique informal presentation of the Zoppe Family Circus one gets a rare look at the backyard of this old-time family circus. Having been privileged to see the Zoppe Family Circus backyard in person, viewing this excellent DVD made me feel like I was again an invited guest to the Zoppe Family.

Giovanni Zoppe is excellent at telling one what life is really like outside of the big top. As Giovanni is quick to point out everyone works at all sorts of tasks as there is no room for primadonnas on the Zoppe Family Circus.

The viewer is introduced to each member of the Zoppe troupe followed by a short interview of each person. A special feature is an interview with the circus impresario, Alberto Zoppe, who relates how he came to America in 1948 to star in Cecil B DeMille’s “Greatest Show on Earth”.

The Circus Historian and the Circus Fan will not want to miss the opportunity to view “Sawdust” and make it a part of his/her circus library. “Sawdust” will be available May 18, 2005 and can be purchased on the Zoppe Family Circus Web Site www.zoppe.net
