“Under the Big Top” is a dramatic comedy being performed at Hamilton Heights High School Feb. 22 to 24. Shenanigans unfold as a power-hungry secretary works to keep a circus from paying off their loan at the bank and the circus members desperately work against foreclosure. Bankers, circus members, clownws and some adventurous Texans all collide to create the comedy of the season. Organizers say the performance is sure to bring a smile to your face and tears to your eyes.
