Circus Smirkus: Anchors Away for Atlantis!

Ahoy there! It's all hands on deck as we dive into another season with Circus Smirkus. Vermont’s award-winning international youth circus is back on the road with Anchors Away for Atlantis, and Theater in the Open is once again hosting four shows in your neighborhood.
 
Presenting Circus Smirkus has become Theater in the Open’s biggest annual fundraiser. What’s more, it has become a highly anticipated event, bringing imaginative and engaging family entertainment to the area. You have to see Circus Smirkus in action to believe it — these circus stars, ages 11 to 18, bring youthful exuberance and polished circus skills from all parts of the country and around the world. Everyone who enters the big top leaves with a smile on their face, knowing that they’ve just seen something truly special.
 
Come see Circus Smirkus on August 1-2 and discover maritime merriment under the briny big top. Join our intrepid crew as we climb the rigging with aquatic aerialists, tumble the surf with amphibious acrobats, even catch and release some fishy jugglers. Help turn the tides for the castaway clowns set adrift in center ring. All ages are welcome, and no one will want to miss all the fun.
