The Royal Rockets

Posted By on January 2, 2009

The Royal Rockets were noted for having the finest roller skating acrobatic act in the business. We worked with them in the mid 50’s on Siebrand Bros. Circus. John Carson was the lead skater in the act. His sister and her husband were part of the trio. They settled in Phoenix, AZ and John joined the IATSE Stage Hand Union local 336. He became the secretary/treasurer and remained in that position until his late 80’s. We remain friends to this day.
