Looking for something to do by yourself or with the grandkids when they come to visit ? With about a one-hour trip from anywhere in Tampa Bay, you can visit the world-famous Ringling Museum and Ca’Da Zan, John and Mabel Ringling's mansion and while your there, the kid in you (and the grandkids, too) will enjoy the "Summer Circus Spectacular" running from now through August 1st.
The historic Asolo Theater on the Ringling grounds and the Circus Arts Conservatory have teamed up again for the Summer Circus Spectacular, a six-week extravaganza for "Children of all Ages."
For the ninth year, the Circus Arts Conservatory and The Ringling Museum of Art are collaborating in presenting short summer shows in the Asolo Theater every Tuesday through Saturday at 11AM and 2PM and on Saturdays at 2 and 5PM through August. 1st. Local families and museum visitors get a chance to sit down and be entertained in a cozy space in the theater.
No one act in the Summer Circus Spectacular lasts very long and ringmaster, Bailey Sloan, a graduate of the famous Sailor Circus, keeps things moving along at a fast pace so the kids' attention will stay glued to the performance. Bailey's quick wit and natural charisma keep the audience engaged and entertained.
The show opens with the Alvarez Family highlighting the gymnastic abilities of daughter Ariana and son Gianni. At one point during their act, the unbelievably flexible Ariana is used as a jumping rope for her brother. She also demonstrates her skills from the teeterboard onto her father’s shoulders, hands or head.
Thirteen-year old juggler, Sebastian St. Jules performs several juggling bits including one where he uses balls to pound out songs on a keyboard. Dolly Jacobs makes high-flying aerialism look easy while the Anastasini brokers close out the show with their foot-juggling act, rapidly flipping each other in dozens of different ways.
Throughout the show, clowns burst onstage unannounced with ridiculously funny skits and antics including times when popular clown, Kirk Marsh, goes into the audience playing with guests’ hair and using wigs, balloons and other props to entertain young and old. This one-of-a-kind production has become a celebrated Summer event for everyone from all over the Sarasota ansd Tampa Bay area. . Tickets to all this fun are just $15 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under.
