Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, May We Present: The Venardos Circus - The Little Circus That Could!
From September 22 to October 3rd, 2021, the Venardos Circus will put on 16 shows under The Big Top, their intimate red-and-white striped circus tent.
The Venardos Circus, is a small (really - it literally fits in a 32-foot trailer), unique, Broadway-style, animal-free circus, with big dreams and spectacular performances, that bring joy to young and old.
Theatre lovers and nostalgic circus fans alike will appreciate the intimate experience and sentimental way the show pays homage to circus traditions through the lens of high-quality entertainment for a modern family audience.
“Expect to be transported back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition, but one that we have tried hard to reinvent for a next generation while still tugging at the nostalgia of those returning to the circus.” - Kevin Venardos, founder and ringmaster of the Venardos Circus.
The Venardos Circus was recently featured on CBS Sunday Morning, where Kevin Venardos shares his story and that of the Venardos Circus.
Now, grab your tickets, don’t miss the show, but hold on to your kids(!):
Kevin’s response to the question whether Venardos Circus is the kind of place that a kid can run away to and join: "I am absolutely counting on it! If you wanna be a part of it, just give me a call!"
