The Amateur Gainesville Community Circus Wowed Audiences for 30 Years
The crowd under the big top grew quiet as 15-year-old Evelyn Kaps climbed the ladder to a high platform beneath a tightwire. The Gainesville Community Circus was playing to a sold-out crowd of 2,500, and all eyes were on Kaps as she began a daring act called the “Slide for Life.” Standing 30 feet above the audience’s upturned faces, she grabbed a 4-inch strip of leather suspended from the wire, brought it to her mouth, and closed her teeth around the custom-fitted mold at the end of the strip. Then, her head tilted back and her jaw tight, she leaned forward, stretched her arms out gracefully, and coasted along the steel cable above the gasping audience. When she reached the end, she removed the mouthpiece to smile at the astonished crowd as the spangles on her homemade costume glittered in the spotlight.
