The Very First Circus
For Preschoolers! Movement, music, and interactive fun based on Aesop’s fable The Lion and The Mouse. Join us at the circus and play along.
Based on Aesop’s fable The Lion and The Mouse, this is a play for preschoolers and primary students full of movement, music, and interactive fun. Join us at the circus and play along!
Larry the Lion dreams of performing under the Big Top. But he can't do it by himself, he needs his neighbours to join in! As Larry searches the jungle for other animals to perform dazzling circus tricks, the audience is asked to participate in acts of balance and bravery, too. An intimate and participatory performance for Preschoolers and Primary Grades to celebrate friendship, good citizenship, and reaching for new heights. After the show, children are welcome to Stay & Play in the performance area. Age appropriate crafts and drama activities will be led by the performers helping to spark imaginations and extend the magical experience of watching live theatre together.
