Planning an event at which you might like some circus entertainment? Our circus show could be just what you need!

Interactive Circus Show

Our interactive circus show is great, participatory fun for kids. Members of the audience are involved in many of the circus acts—plate spinning, feather balancing, ribbon twirling, ring tossing, stilt-walking, …  Amidst these acts the ringmaster mixes in several circus acts of his own. Often we will conduct a circus workshop following the show to teach the kids circus skills they can perform.

Circus Play Area

Our interactive circus play area is great for fairs, festivals, open houses—events with a lot of people and a number of activities going on. We set up a circus activity station where your guests can try their hand at a number of different circus elements—for instance, ribbon twirling, flower stick manipulation, shaker cups, ring juggling, diabolo,… We teach them different tricks with the equipment. It provides a fun, interactive, hands-on experience for your guests!

Sometimes we will also present a circus show or two interspersed among the teaching to compliment the circus play area.

Our circus workshop provides a great introduction to circus skills. Kids learn tricks with several different circus elements. For very large groups we sometimes split them into smaller groups and rotate each through the circus workshop, so we can provide more individual attention. For added fun, your circus workshop can also be preceded by a comedy circus show!

Circus Artist in Residence

Our circus artist in residence program has 3 parts: 1) We begin by putting on a circus show for the kids. 2) We teach the kids circus skills on a variety of pieces of circus equipment. 3) The kids put on a circus for each other. It can be videotaped and played back later. Kids love seeing themselves on TV!

Circus Day Program

Our Circus Day Program is a half day or full day version of the circus artist in residence. It is great for overnight camps, or situations where you want circus, but just for a day. We teach each group of kids a different act to perform in the circus show.

Circus Client Comments


In all my years of event planning, I can’t remember this particular audience ever responding so positively to entertainment. As you so very well know, all of you were requested to stay overtime. The entire group of entertainers you provided was truly first-rate. Jeff, if you’re always as popular as you were at our event, I’m surprised that you’re ever available and even more surprised that you’re so affordable.
