Big Top Tour 2024!
Circus Smirkus, New England's premier traveling youth circus, is presenting an all-new show for 2024, Details to be announced
Circus Smirkus is ADA-compliant.
Every summer, a freshly auditioned company of Smirkus Troupers, ages 11 to 18, takes to the road for a two-month performance tour of New England. Backed by professional coaches, cooks, musicians and crew, Smirkos perform to sell-out crowds in Circus Smirkus’ very own 750-seat European-style one-ring big top tent. Smirkos endure rigorous training, daily chores, and the loading in and loading out of the Big Top. They revel in the joy of performance and the camaraderie of a common purpose—a shared dream and nearly 70 shows in just seven weeks!
