On tour in New England!
April 27th at NECCA
The New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) presents the annual Circus Springboard show, featuring America’s next generation of circus artists. Circus Springboard tours New England theaters, connecting rural audiences to inspiring aerialists and acrobats through the powerful storytelling of theatrical circus. The performers are soon-to-be graduates of NECCA’s 3-year professional training program, and this show is the culmination of their studies and development as performers and artists. This show is devised with a guest director and reflects the director’s and performers’ artistic collaboration each year. Stay tuned for this year’s show content closer to the performance date!
