My family recently attended Lone Star Circus’s Charivari at the Dallas Children’s Theater. With a loyal following that grows every year, Lone Star Circus has become a favorite part of the holidays for many in the DFW area. This year was no exception as their new show Charivari promises to be a hit with fans of all ages!
Every year, founder Fanny Kerwich brings together seasoned circus artists such as aerialists, acrobats, trapeze artists, hand balancers, jugglers, clowns, gymnasts, and small animal acts from all over the world. This fabulous group of entertainers is joined by Lone Star Circus School staff and students as well as popular local entertainers, and they put together a cirque show which plays for a limited run in the intimate theater setting of Dallas Children’s Theater.
All-New Circus Extravaganza Celebrates the Arrival of the New Year
An all-new show presented for the first time ever in partnership with Dallas Children’s Theater (DCT), Lone Star Circus’ CHARIVARI brings together an international galaxy of acrobats, aerialists, hand balancers, jugglers, clowns, and dogs as they perform together to create the most sensational and joyous circus spectacular Dallas – Ft. Worth has ever seen.
Playing for 10 shows at the Rosewood Center for Family Arts, December 27 – January 5, CHARIVARI is the perfect way for family and friends to celebrate the end of 2013 and the dawn of the New Year.
