Isaac Girardin spoke with the Mallory Square legend, tightrope walking juggler, Will Soto. Will has been street performing for 43 years and has the stories to show for it. Will talks about what it was like during the laid back, free living early days at Mallory Square and how in the 80’s they fought to keep the nightly Sunset Celebration alive by creating a non-profit corporation. He shares stories about performing over an alligator pit, his willingness to always take chances, and saving a man’s life during one of his shows. From starting out as a sculptor selling his art at renaissance festivals to being the face of Key West’s Mallory Square, Will Soto has definitely left his mark and his legacy on the world of street theater.
