Theater in the Open proudly hosts Circus Smirkus' 2023 Big Top Tour: A Midsummer Night’s Circus! Enter an enchanted forest and let your imagination run away with the circus! Circus Smirkus brings magic and mayhem, love and chaos to the big top with the 2023 Big Top Tour: A Midsummer Night’s Circus. A cast of thirty talented youth get entangled in the dream-like woods where sprites contort in the trees and fairies fly through the air. Trouble ensues when they all cross paths with the king and queen of the fairies, their fantastical court, and the chief mischief-maker, Puck! This exquisite acrobatic adaptation of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy will leave you awe-inspired and utterly enchanted!
The 2023 Big Top Tour: A Midsummer Night’s Circus. The show will feature a vast array of circus arts — including aerials, acrobatics, juggling, and clowning — a dazzling display of brilliant costumes, and many other surprises. The 2023 Big Top Tour takes to the road July 1 and travels through mid-August with a tour caravan that requires some 23-support vehicles and 80 people including performers, coaches, cooks, tech and tent crew and a live circus band playing an original score written specifically for this show. The award-winning circus company performs across New England to approximately 40,000 patrons each summer.
Located in Greensboro, Vermont, Circus Smirkus is a nonprofit arts and education organization whose mission is to promote the skills, culture and traditions of the traveling circus. Since 1987, it has inspired youth to engage in life-changing adventures in the circus arts through three principal programs: the Circus Smirkus Big Top Tour, Smirkus Camp, and Smirkus School Residency programs.
