Stars Above
An Open Air American Circus
Stars Above is an outdoor family friendly circus, a modern take on the nostalgic small touring circuses from over two hundred years ago. Featuring an all-star cast of circus performers and musicians, the show centers around a day in the life of a traveling family troupe. Combining elements of contemporary and classical circus, Stars Above explores and celebrates our interwoven connections to loved ones, community, and what we’ve lost. The all-ages production is performed outdoors, under the vast canopy of sky and stars, on a custom-built circular stage and aerial rig.
