The traveling youth circus performs almost 70 shows this summer, from the mountains of Vermont to the shores of Maine. Twenty-seven stars, ages 11 to 18, bring youthful exuberance and polished skills from all over the globe.
Grab your ruby slippers and click your heels together as Circus Smirkus goes somewhere over the rainbow with a new spin on the Wizard of Oz. This time it’s all flying monkey business as the performers cartwheel down the yellow brick road to a new twist in the tale.
The shows will be held at 1 and 6 p.m. both Monday, Aug. 5, and Tuesday, Aug. 6, on the campus of Merriconeag Waldorf School, 57 Desert Road.
Tickets range from $17 to $20 and are available at Standard Baking Co., Portland; Royal River Natural Foods, Freeport; or online at www.smirkus.org. For more information, email events@merriconeag.org or call 207-865-3900.
