CircEsteem's Spring Circus This Friday & Saturday

Uptown's own CircEsteem (4730 N. Sheridan) presents the 9th Annual Spring circus this Friday at 7:30pm and Saturday at 4pm in partnership with the Francis W. Parker School, at the Diane & David B Heller Auditorium located at 330 W. Webster Ave., Chicago. Tickets are $11-$18 and can be purchased online.  This full length circus production will bring together over 85 youth performers from all over Chicago and as far away as Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Germany, Argentina, and Mexico. Be wowed by elaborate juggling, hilarious clowning, daring aerial acts, spellbinding feats of strength and skill on the gym wheel, and stilt walking dragons and trees!

Join us for a benefit reception on Friday May 21st at 6:30pm. Tickets for the reception are $50. Proceeds from the reception will go to fund the CircEsteem Scholarship Fund. To date, CircEsteem graduates have been awarded over $500,000 in college scholarships. Enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and hear first hand the success stories and future dreams from current and former graduates of our program.
