Cirrcus Terrifico by Motus O Dance Theatre
July 27, 2-3:30pm
The whole family will enjoy the hilarious show by the nationally recognized Motus O. Cirrus Terrifico, a comedy about three circus performers boarding the train to their next show. However, a case of vanishing tickets thwarts their plans and strands them on the platform. It takes every trick in the book (and their suitcases!) to create an impromptu show to raise money for new tickets. This is a hilariously energetic micro-version interpretations of the ballets, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. Bring the family! Light refreshments are included with ticket prices.

Performed with the signature MOTUS O physicality and humor, see for yourself how a little magic, some juggling, tight-rope walking and fortune-telling can entertain the whole family!
