featuring Nik Wallenda & “Grandma” Welcome to the of 1 Welcome to the On behalf of all the performers, administrative staff, design team and crew, we welcome you to this very special production of the Big Apple Circus. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of a beloved New York City cultural gem that has delighted generations of families during its traditional holiday season at Lincoln Center and cities up and down the East Coast and as far west as Chicago. The 40th Anniversary celebrates the rebirth of a New York City and American cultural institution. After declaring bankruptcy in 2016, the Big Apple Circus seemed destined for extinction. Each of us in front and behind the curtain are honored to be part of this renaissance. The circus transcends all barriers bringing together children and adults of all ages, cultures and faith. For two hours, the world inside the Big Top transforms into a colorful kaleidoscope of wonder, amazement and laughter for all to of share. At the Big Apple Circus, we are committed to continuing the outreach programs so every child will have the opportunity to experience the wonder of the Circus. This year we will be expanding the number of shows adapted for children and young adults with Autism as well as those with hearing and visual challenges through our Circus of the Senses. In addition, we continue our commitment to provide children less fortunate the opportunity to attend the circus. Welcome back and enjoy the show. All of us at Big Apple Circus thank you for your support and hope you enjoy the magic and thrill of this special 40th Anniversary Show. -
Reading Group Guide Spotlight
Spotlight on: Reading Group Guide Water for Elephants Author: Sara Gruen Born in Canada; married; children: three. Addresses: Name: Sara Gruen Home: P.O. Box 635, Chicago, IL 60606-635. E-mail: Born: Canada [email protected]. Occupation: Writer Address: P.O. Box 635, Career: Writer. Chicago, IL 60606-635 Writings: Riding Lessons (novel), HarperTorch (New York, NY), 2004. Works in Progress: Flying Changes, a sequel to Riding Lessons. Sidelights: Sara Gruen’s debut novel, Riding Lessons, concerns an Olympic-level rider named Annemarie Zimmer, who loses her prized horse and her promising career in a terrible accident. The incident proves to be the first link in a chain of events that culminates two decades later. At that point, Annemarie has lost her job, is in the midst of a divorce from her husband, and has discovered that her father is terminally ill. Taking her highly rebellious, teenaged daughter with her, she returns to her parents’ riding school in New Hampshire to regroup. There, she encounters a former love interest, Dan Garibaldi. She also finds a neglected horse with rare, brindled coloring; it is the same coat pattern as Highland Harry, her mount who died in the accident twenty years before. The coloration is so unusual that Annemarie feels there must be a connection between the two animals, and she becomes determined to discover what it is. Eventually, she learns that the horse is Harry’s brother. “Riding Lessons is an exciting character study that uses the equestrian world as a backdrop to a family drama,” mused Harriet Klausner in a review for AllReaders.com. -

The research focuses on how does Jacob try to fulfill and satisfy his self-actualization need viewed from the Hierarchy of human needs of Abraham H. Maslow’s Theory? This film is carefully and accurately analyzed using the theory of hierarchy of human needs by Abraham H. Maslow. This research uses the qualitative method. The data are analyzed by watching, underlining, understanding, and identifying it. In this research, it find out that in fulfilling and satisfying his self-actualization need, Jacob has distractions from his lower-order needs. So, he must fulfill and satisfy them first to fulfill and satisfy his self-actualization need. In conclusion, he finally succeeds to fulfill and satisfy his self-actualization need by clearing the distractions from his lower- order needs which he fulfill and satisfy them first. Furthermore, people who cannot fulfill his basic needs can potentially do an evil thing. Keywords: Humanistic Psychology, Human Needs, Self-Actualization.

Water for Elephants, Jacob Jankowski Recalls the Great Benzini Brothers Circus Disaster
GREAT CIRCUS DISASTERS 0. GREAT CIRCUS DISASTERS - Story Preface 1. THE CIRCUS DURING the 1930s 2. CIRCUS PERFORMERS from the 1930s 3. ROSIE the CIRCUS ELEPHANT 4. GREAT CIRCUS DISASTERS One of America's greatest fire disasters occurred on July 6, 1944 in Hartford, Connecticut. When the fire started, it spread incredibly fast throughout a large traveling tent known as a "big top." The tent, depicted in this 1906 photograph, shows how such a "big top" appears when all is well. Image online, U.S. National Archives. In Water for Elephants, Jacob Jankowski recalls the great Benzini Brothers circus disaster. Keep in mind ... the telling of that tale is just a story. However ... history includes other fact-based circus disasters. Let's examine two of them. Hartford Circus Fire, 1944. It was a hot afternoon when thousands of people entered the big-top tent in Hartford. One month after Allied troops had stormed the Normandy beaches in France, an audience was assembling for a Ringling Brothers circus show on the 6th of July, 1944. The tent - 550 feet long and 250 feet wide - could accommodate 12,000 people and was roughly half-full. Its canvas top had been waterproofed with 6,000 gallons of gasoline and 18,000 pounds of paraffin. Suddenly, the bandleader - Merle Evans - noticed something unusual. Why was he seeing fire? Immediately switching to a different tune, he alerted circus employees with "Stars and Stripes Forever" - the song they knew meant "emergency!" With gas and parafin fueling the flames, the crowd of roughly 6,800 people had little time to react. -

On view September 21, 2012– February 3, 2013 Exhibition From September 21, 2012, to February 3, 2013, the Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Mate- rial Culture (BGC) will present Circus and the City: New York, 1793–2010, an exhibition that uses New York City as a lens through which to explore the extraordinary de- velopment and spectacular pageantry of the American circus. Through a wide variety of ephemera, images, and artifacts, the exhibition documents the history of the circus in the city, from the seminal equestrian displays of the late eighteenth century through the iconic late nineteenth-century American railroad circus to the Big Apple Circus of today. From humble beginnings, the circus grew into the most popular form of entertain- “Nixon & Co.’s Mammoth Circus: The Great Australian ment in the United States.

Water for Elephants (Questions)
Water for Elephants (Questions) 1. To what extent do the chapters concerning the elderly Jacob enhance the chapters recounting the young Jacob’s experiences with the Benzini Brothers circus? In what ways do the chapters about the young Jacob contribute to a deeper understanding of the elderly Jacob’s life? 2. How does the novel’s epigraph, the quote from Dr. Seuss’s Horton Hatches the Egg, apply to the novel? What are the roles and importance of faithfulness and loyalty in Water for Elephants? In what ways does Gruen contrast the antagonisms and cruelties of circus life with the equally impressive loyalties and instances of caring? 3. Who did you, upon reading the prologue, think murdered August? What effect did that opening scene of chaos and murder have on your reception of the story that follows? 4. In connection with Jacob’s formal dinner with August and Marlena in their stateroom, Jacob remarks, “August is gracious, charming, and mischievous” (page 93). To what extent is this an adequate characterization of August? How would you expand upon Jacob’s observation? How would you characterize August? Which situations in the novel reveal his true character? 5. August says of Marlena, “Not everyone can work with liberty horses. It’s a God- given talent, a sixth sense, if you will” (page 94). Both August and Jacob recognize Marlena’s skills, her “sixth sense,” in working with the horses. In what ways does that sixth sense attract each man? How do August and Jacob differ in terms of the importance each places on Marlena’s abilities? 6. -
