A Black history-making ringmaster served as inspiration for a role in the Circus Juventas’ spectacular summer production, Confetti. The show’s storyline follows a troupe of young circus performers on a mystical journey through iconic moments in circus history. The show performs at the air-conditioned, permanent big top from July 29 to August 14 for 16 breathtaking shows. The Sunday matinee, 1 p.m., July 31 will have an ASL/AD interpreter.

Tickets go on sale on Monday, June 27 at 10 a.m. with prices ranging from $25 to $50. This year, tickets will be sold exclusively online through ShoWare. Masks will be optional; the Circus Juventas venue hosts a large, open arena with a ventilation system and updated HEPA air filters.
