The “Greatest Show on Earth” is back, touring 50 American cities under its flagship brand of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The new show resuscitates a circus many thought was gone for good. After a five-year hiatus, a touring Ringling production opened in September and will stop Nov. 3-5 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont. Suburban La Grange native Sammie Pearsall is part of the aerial acts, performing on dance trapeze, aerial straps, silks and harness.
Like Pearsall, Damm doesn’t come from a circus family but his parents — a Unitarian minister and a pediatrician — were supportive of having an entertainer in the family. “When I was 11, my mother started booking me for events doing magic and juggling,” the Maine native said. “I’ve essentially been on stage ever since.” Damm has been part of shows big and small and is drawn to projects that keep the circus alive in the United States. He performed with Big Apple Circus during their comeback year.
