Ep.38: Jack Marsh: Artistic Director & Circus Consultant - “At its best we all just roll up our sleeves, and get a whole lot of things done and out comes something magical” (Audio)

Jack Marsh began his circus career with Circus Flora in 1986 when he was just two years old: he rode a Clydesdale also named Jack. Marsh has since served the company through his juggling, acrobatics, and creative energy. After working as a corporate attorney in New York, Marsh ran away to re-join the circus, inspired to help Circus Flora create new and innovative productions. Marsh served as the Executive Producer of the New York City’s Big Apple Circus from 2019-2022 and is the Circus Consultant on “Come Alive,” a live immersive production of The Greatest Showman in London, premiering later this year. Marsh holds a B.A. in Economics from Harvard University and a J.D. from the University of Wisconsin.
