The Al. Ringling Theatre in downtown Baraboo, Wisconsin, the longtime home to the Circus World Museum, the former headquarters and winter home of the Ringling Brothers circus. August Albrecht "Al." Ringling selected Rapp & Rapp of Chicago -- the fabled theatre designers of the early 20th Century -- to design his theater, which opened in 1915. While primarily both a silent and "talkie" movie palace of the times, over the years it has featured performances from vaudeville to grand opera starring such notables as Lionel Barrymore and Mary Pickford.
