Our Mission
We’re dedicated to expanding human and theatrical potential through the vital forms of circus arts by pushing the limits of physical, emotional, and creative expression.
As Chicago’s oldest circus school, we pursue this mission across three program areas:
-
Classes
We help people of all ages and experience levels build strength and confidence in our adult and kids classes.
-
Shows
In addition to our on-site productions, we collaborate with other leading Chicago theaters.
-
Events
Our award-winning entertainment helps us connect with other communities in the Chicagoland area and beyond.
