Quite often, the Music Circus' Public Relations Office would produce a "Season Progam" at the begining of each season, listing the shows and other attractions being offered for the whole season. Here we offer the Season Progam for 1955. Notably, Robert Goulet was a Resident Singer this year at the Circus. 1955's season was extentded to October 2nd. This was probably due to the Great Flood of 1955 which devastated the towns along the Delaware River. I am still doing research on how the Music Circus and its employees and schedule were effected.
