North Star Chorus 1990 Show

Our 1990 show...

Uptight on the Tight Rope

– or –

No, No, No Net

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the semi-greatest show on earth! Somewhere, in a world only slightly simpler than ours, a bedraggled small-time circus finds itself facing fearful financial and familial difficulties in the small town of Dixie, Minnesota. The great Closalina family of tightrope walkers faces a leadership vacuum; no one knows whether the new clown and her trained dog will draw couch potatoes out of their sacks; and all of the men have been kicked out of their quarters by their wives... hurry, hurry, hurry.
