Grieving friends start a circus in Iowa to remember their lost Joy

www.desmoinesregister.com: Moon, 28, is the founder and driving force behind this collective. She and her friends gather several nights a week inside a grand old church just north of downtown Cedar Rapids.

What had been a First Baptist sanctuary when it opened in 1917 now has its 10,000 square feet strewn not only with circus gear but photography lights, antiques, a piano, an unplugged bowling arcade game and tiny costume dresses for cats (yes, felines).
