It was a pleasure to sit down with Jerome Hill, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and the Touring PR Manager for Ringling.
What made you decide to work for Ringling Brothers and how has it been?
I wanted to be part of Ringling Brothers since I was 4 or 5 years old when I saw my first show. It’s the reason I got into circus arts and performing. It’s where I wanted to end up, and never ended up as a performer for Ringling, but now I have only been here a few months I am the Touring Manager and it’s a dream of a lifetime.
What does the touring pr manager do?
My job is to help get performers, acts, and crew to different media outlets and I work very lose with the publicist and with Feld Entertainment’s Corp office.
What is your favorite part of this circus?
The introduction, because the circus evolves over generations of time, but the opening spectacle kind of remains the same and it’s something they are not going to see anywhere else.
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Resilient, Stubborn, and Tall
What do you do for fun?
I love Classic cartoons from the 80’s, but I also enjoy cooking and in many years from now when I leave the circus I have aspirations to open a diner.
How is it being a LGBTQ+ person traveling around the country?
I think it’s very broadening in scope to be part of this community and to see the community in so many parts of the country.
Are you excited about being in Sofla?
Florida is still fairly new to me and there are so many places I haven’t seen yet. But I have heard great things about what I can expect in South Florida. I am also excited about seeing the crowds in South Florida.
What does the future hold for you?
I see myself still making my way in the circus industry in some way, but also as a published author. I have two books in the works with hopes to get published someday!
What should our readers expect from this new version of the Greatest Show on Earth?
Like any entertainment outlet a hiatus was necessary to reinvent. Audiences change over time, and we needed to step back and change after 150 years. In addition, this is a groundbreaking show that collaborated with top 40 artists. The songs and artists you will recognize. We have reimagined everything and we now focus on the human side of things.
