Royal Lichtenstein Quarter-Ring Sidewalk Circus
Royal Lichtenstein Quarter-Ring Sidewalk Circus was a street theatre troupe that toured the United States between 1971 and 1993〔(My Old Circus Life )〕〔(Quarter-ring Circus revels in smallness )Lawrence Journal-World Oct. 8, 1975 -- pp.1,3〕 as the self-described "world's smallest circus".
