Clown Around With CIRCUS SMIRKUS!
Circus Smirkus, New England's premier traveling youth circus, is presenting an all-new show for 2020, The Great American Road Trip. This year’s production will be a rollicking cross-country tour along the highways and byways of the good ol' USA. Get ready to visit the most famous landmarks, the most bizarre roadside attractions, and the most eclectic eateries on the map! Enjoy life in the fast lane as we hit the road for an unforgettable journey – with Smirkus at the wheel, what could possibly go wrong?
Every summer, a freshly auditioned company of Smirkus Troupers, ages 12 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!
Circus Smirkus is ADA-compliant.
BRING A GROUP!
Group sales are available for a minimum of 15 tickets. See the Group Sales Information Sheet for more details. To apply please go to the Group Sales Signup Form. For questions, please contact jodi@northstarteens.org.
VOLUNTEER
Joining the Circus Smirkus volunteer team is a meaningful way to share the magic of Circus Smirkus with your community. Help spread the word and share the joy! Sign up for pre-show opportunities to help with posters, flyers and more. Or sign up for volunteer shifts at the shows. Or both! If you have any questions, please contact Loran Saito, loran@northstarteens.org.
HOST SMIRKOS IN YOUR HOME
We need several host families to accommodate at least two troupers each. It's a memorable experience getting to know the troupers, learning about life as a Smirko, and making lifelong friends! See the Homestay information sheet and last year’s Circus Smirkus Homestay Handbook to get an idea about the details. For questions, please contact Sue Surner, suesurner@gmail.com.
SPONSOR A SHOW
North Star's presentation of Circus Smirkus will be seen by more than 3,000 people! Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to reach a large audience, support a beloved community event, and help North Star continue to offer life-changing programs to all interested teens.
