Zoppe Family Circus

Three Rivers Charter School and The Zoppé Family Circus welcome guests into the intimate 500-seat tent for a one-ring circus that honors the best history of the Old-World Italian tradition. Starring Nino the clown, the circus is propelled by a central story (as opposed to individual acts) with acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning and plenty of audience participation. Giovanni Zoppé, the sixth-generation circus performer who plays Nino, says the show aims higher than what passes for circuses these days. "We try to touch every emotion during the show," he says. "They'll laugh, they'll cry, and they'll feel for the characters. It's more of an event than a show.” Buy tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/884565 or call the School (964-1128) and we'll get the tickets to YOU!
