Circus Returns
It’s March and that means we are again welcoming the Circus (马戏团) Under the Stars to our town.
Ringmaster (马戏表演领班) Ferdinand Diego promises that it will be full of surprises for the whole family. Diego says, “This year we are presenting forty different performers. We are especially pleased to add the Flying Montinis to our circus family. They are known throughout Europe for their dangerous trapeze (高空秋千) acts. In fact, Ernestine Montini was the first female to perform a triple flip (空翻三周), and you can see her performance nightly in our show.”
Charley Smith’s performances have been the favorite act of local children in past shows. Charley will be with the circus again this year. Smith promises to be “a little smarter, but just as silly” this time around. He will surely leave the crowd laughing.
Right after their shows here, the performers will begin a three-month tour in South America. So make sure you buy your tickets early. The circus will be in town for only one week, from Wednesday, June 5, through Sunday, June 9. There will be evening performances Thursday through Sunday at 7 P.M.
Matinees (午后场) will be held at 2 P.M. on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Performances will again be at the Civic Center, 454 Oak Street in Bakersville.
