Drop the Act

Come and see the greatest show on Earth!

Come and see the greatest show on Earth!

A contortionist who can shrink herself so small, she fits inside this box no bigger than a thimble.

The most impressive act of all is when she discovers she’s a giant, breaks free of the box, and heads in the direction of her unknown future.

The audience “boos” as she walks out of the tent with a smile on her face, finally realizing she had this power all along.

The show must go on, and so must she.
