In 1986, when Jack Marsh was two years old, he entered the arena of Circus Flora on the back of a Clydesdale, also named Jack. He rose to artistic director and that year earned the title of executive director of a nonprofit organization. But he's still evolving his show, and this summer's production, Undercover, builds on the timeless spy story. "Undercover follows the world's greatest double agent taking on a villain bent on world domination," says Circus. “Our spies have some very useful allies, but there are plenty of bad guys too. Will good overcome evil... and how? Only Jack Marsh knows. By Valerie Schremp Hahn
