Roustabout: The Great Circus Train Wreck
Theater On The Lake

There’s nothing funny about dead clowns… until now. Roustabout resurrects the stories of several unknown circus performers who met their fates when an American military train plowed through the Hagenbeck Wallace Circus outside of Chicago in 1918. Part circus show, part historical fiction and part waking dream, Roustabout was named one of the year’s best shows by The Chicago Reader, and the Chicago Tribune wrote, "Powerful… brilliant… moved me to tears."
