DECEMBER 1 – 10, 2022
Cleveland, OH –
Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents
How the Circus Stole Christmas: A Circus Holiday Extravaganza! in time for the holidays.
This World Premiere production is onstage from December 1 through December 10, 2022, at CPT’s historic Gordon Square Theatre.
Cleveland's home-grown circus company,
Crooked River Circus, brings you a night of circus and acrobatic fun, delight, foolishness,
and games in this piece that is a nod to some of the most cherished characters and stories of the season that include Scrooge's grand-nephew, the Christmas Elves formerly of Rivendell, Max the Reindeer, Rudolph the dog, Alien Frogs, and those lovesick fools
from the Magi as they unite to destroy Christmas while flying high on trapeze, spinning and performing death-defying drops on aerial silks and corde lisse, and showing off feats of flexibility and precision on straps, pole, hoops, partner acrobatics and so
much more. Will Christmas be saved? Each night, the audience will decide if they want to give in to the “big Eastern syndicate,” or celebrate Saturnalia style. This interactive production will feature 30+ aerialists; and is recommended for ages 5+.
