Under the Big Top: Circus Flora Show

Set in the Jazz Age, this summer’s Circus Flora show, which runs May 28 to June 28, is called One Summer on Second Street. As the title suggests, “it’s set in an urban block over the course of a summer,” says artistic director Jack Marsh. “It’s about the people on that block from different cultures and backgrounds and families, coexisting in different ways.” Look for a trained house cat act, a trampoline wall, and a whole lot more.
