Dean Kelley saw his first Ringling Brother’s circus when he was 4 years old.
It changed his life.
“Every year since I was 4 years old, I haven’t missed a Ringling Bros. circus yet, and I’m almost 30,” Kelley said during a recent phone interview. “I’ve been going for a long time.”
He also joined the circus as a clown, and now you have the chance to join him. Kelley studied and trained most of his life to join Ringling Brothers, all you have to do is buy a ticket and show up an hour early.
Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey’s latest show, Illuscination, arrives in the Rio Grande Valley’s State Farm Arena on May 19 and stays through May 23. Every ticket grants the holder a chance to join the circus, if only for a little bit.
Attendees who arrive early can walk down to the arena floor, meet the performers and take pictures with the animals. They can also try on costumes and learn tricks from performers such as Kelley, who hosts the pre show.
Afterward, the audience can take a seat and enjoy the show by the professionals. Illuscination features the work of David DaVinci, an ace illusionist who performs some truly thrilling maneuvers, sometimes simultaneously involving fire and lions.
“Come there and be prepared to have a good time,” Kelley said. “They don’t call it the greatest show on earth for nothing.”
