Performer Discusses Life in the Circus

Tom Fudge: Some people probably do run away to join the circus. But most of the time, the circus finds them. That’s been the case with Cheryl Lindley. She’s been a circus performer in many venues for 30 years, and her entire immediate family are all in the circus. Cheryl also performs theater in the old Italian tradition of commedia dell´ arte.
