Circus Juventas Annual Summer Spectacular NEVERLAND!
August 117, 2014
Saint Paul, Minn., May 15, 2014 -- Circus Juventas, the largest youth performing arts circus in the country, announces its 20th Anniversary year summer production Neverland. This summer, childhood will reign under the big top while your imagination is swept over the rooftops of London with the capricious Pan, his naughty fairy friend, Tink, and the carefree Darling children to the magical island of Neverland. Youll be enticed by the bewitching circus magic made by contorting mermaids, fairies floating in mid-air, and somersaulting Lost Children playing in enchanted forests and lush jungles with flowing waterfalls and twinkling lights. But all must beware the inevitable showdown with the murderous Hook and his band of pirates as they unfurl the black sails of the Jolly Roger in the final clash and slash of swashbuckling swordplay that turns the Circus Juventas arena into an epic battle of high-flying, death-defying aerial acrobatics that threatens the very existence of Neverland.
Tickets for all 21 performances go on sale Monday, June 30 and will be available through Ticketworks at www.ticketworks.com or 612-343-3390 or by calling the Circus Juventas box office at 651-699-8229. All seats are reserved.
