Greatest Show On Earth will show

One hour before show time,
circus goers can venture down to
the arena floor to find out how

master, connecting with interna­
tional audiences in a magical world
of entertainment, music, people and Ringmaster Tyron McFarlan leads one o f the nation's most
celebrated touring companies at the Rose Garden Arena from
