## **History**

### **Origin**

Olde's Travelling Circus started as a dream of a young Olde when he was a young teenager, however every time his ambition was brought up, his parents brushed it off with the mind set that there was no way a circus could make nearly as much money as they already did with their law firm "Goodman and Sons Legal Firm." They believed Olde's passion should be the family buisness for he would need to take over the company one day, preparing him for when the day would come. His grandmother "Constance Goodman" on the otherhand admired his ambitions, she would provide savings and always pushed him to continue dreaming, Olde would even perform and provide entertainment for his grandmother. As he grew older his studies pertained to legal studies throughout his late high school life into university, he even acquired an internship at his own family's legal firm, but Olde never forgot his dream to travel around the world, bringing smiles to many different faces, in secret he would learn card tricks, juggling and other fun entertainment practices.

After university it was inevitable for him to become an employee at the firm, from there he spent his time drudging through case after case, but his dreams became within grasp, he had formed enough savings to start travelling the world and form his circus. In an act of showmanship he announced the news to his parents and grandmother, the parents were of course disappointed but admitted that couldn't hold him no matter how much they argued thanks to his grandmother reminding them that they too at somepoint had dreams of their own that they didn't persue. After wishing him the best of luck, Olde set for the open road.

Olde would have many ups and downs in his travels both emotional and financial, as it turns out travelling the world is an expensive venture and Olde as of yet had no job, he would dabble in street performing and taking on the odd job here and there in order to maintain a healthy sum of money. After 2 years of travel Olde recieved news that his Grandmother had passed away, for a moment he almost wished he had never left home and it would take some time to process. In a way it was the push he needed to put his full energy into building his circus. Eventually as it all came together with others to join him in his dream, Olde's Travelling Circus was born dedicated to the loving memory of his late grandmother Constance Goodman.
