“The Circus,” a new two-part film from American Experience will air on CPTV on October 8 and 9

“The Circus” explores the colorful history of this popular, influential, and distinctly American form of entertainment, from the first one-ring show at the end of the 18th century to 1956, when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey big top was pulled down for the last time. As the home state of P.T. Barnum, Connecticut plays a unique role in this history.

Before “The Circus” premieres on CPTV, join CPTV and CT Humanities for a free advance screening of a portion of the film on Thursday, October 4th.

This screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Sally Whipple, Executive Director of Connecticut’s Old State House; Kathleen Maher, Executive Director of Barnum Museum in Bridgeport; and Walter Woodward, Connecticut State Historian and Associate Professor of History at the University of Connecticut. Attendees will also hear clips from Woodward’s new two-part podcast, exploring Barnum’s lasting legacy in Connecticut and beyond.

The production continues to be enhanced with fresh and dynamic content while preserving what has made the Christmas Spectacular a beloved holiday tradition.

The 2018 production includes performances of classic numbers such as “Rag Dolls,” a high-energy tap routine featuring the Rockettes as rag dolls, “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” which sets the standard for the Rockettes style of precision dance, and “Living Nativity,” which takes audiences on an awe- inspiring journey.

Bridgeport News: Ground Breaking For Amphitheater

#Bridgeport CT– Ground breaking for the new Harbor Yard Amphitheater took place this morning after phase one of three is complete. Design one was design, structural engineering, final drawings and permitting. The new structure is expected to be twelve stories or one hundred and twenty feet tall, almost as tall as the People’s Bank Tower down the street on Main Street. Phase two will be demolition, site work and footings put in place. State three will spend $15 million with 258 construction jobs.

Jim Koplik of Live Nation Connecticut promises great talent to visit the amphitheater, Koplik also runs the Xfinity Center in Hartford. Koplick said the Arena at Harbor Yard is under utilized and he hopes to bring new business to them as well. The Arena has limited dates due to sports teams that play their home games there. The amphitheater’s projected opening date is in June 2019.

Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo welcomes eight spur-thigh tortoises (Geochelone sulcata) who are making the Zoo their home for the summer. The African spur thigh tortoise, also known as the spurred tortoise, is the third largest species of tortoise in the world, after the Galapagos tortoise and the Aldabra giant tortoise. It is the largest of all mainland tortoises.

“Summertime is the right time, so it’s a great time to bring such special animals here as our temporary guests,” said Zoo Director Gregg Dancho. “Tortoises also love summer heat, and the spur thigh tortoise is particularly well-adapted to hot temperatures. Also there is the educational message that these wonderful animals do not make good pets! Make wise not wild choices!”

“The Zoo will be home to the tortoises until sometime this fall,” added Dancho. “Guests can find them next to the Victorian Greenhouse.”

African spur thigh tortoises are large and push and knock over heavy objects with ease. One of their unusual behaviors is that they may ram each other, with males especially ramming females. The force with which one tortoise rams another can be intimidating, given their strength. They are generally slow moving, however, in order to conserve energy. They dig burrows in the ground to take shelter from their harsh, hot habitat, with some tunnel systems extending ten or more feet underground. Adult tortoises average 18 inches in shell length and 70-100 pounds in weight. Specimens reaching two to three feet in length and more than 150 pounds, however, are not uncommon.

They are able to go weeks without food. In the wild, they mainly eat grasses and leaves of desert scrub. They get the water they need from the plants they eat. African spur thigh tortoises’ conservation status is listed currently as vulnerable, due to habitat loss and over-collection for the pet trade.

Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is closer than you think and open daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Adult admission (ages 12 & older) is $15.00, children (ages 3 -11) is $12.00, senior admission (62 and older) is just $11.00, and children under 3 years old are free. Zoo members also are admitted free. Parking at the Zoo is free of charge.
