How The Show Will Go On

Some historical references place the first use of the expression “the show must go on” back in the 1800s when circus performers continued their acts regardless of tigers on the loose or falls from the trapeze.

The phrase has been repeated throughout the years to describe just about any activity that refuses to be deterred by circumstances. So, of course David Kaye and his theater major students have applied the thinking to what would have been their production ofĚý“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” slated to run this month.
