The Circus Juventas Big Top Brings You

Happily Ever After!
This summer your prince will come to Circus Juventas! And along with
him, nimble princesses, agile wolves, acrobatic frogs, witches that turn
inside out, powerful giants, and the evilest collection of stepmothers
you will ever meet! Circus Juventas presents Grimm, a fanciful tale of
the life of the Brother’s Grimm! Come stumble through a boisterous
marketplace with Jacob and Wilhelm, where baskets of apples can
change destiny and a mysterious gypsy cart will cast a spell before your
very eyes. Then follow the Grimm Brothers into the woods where witches
dwell in gingerbread houses and clever wolves are hungry, but be
sure to make it back on time for the splendid castle ball
where your fearless prince just might meet his true
love, with the help of some unusual flying fairy
godmothers, of course.

Circus Juventas is funded in part by:
