NOTE: This contest has ended.
A few months ago, Cirque Eloize’s Nebbia came to Fayetteville and gave us a good lesson on what a modern day circus was all about. It also provided an excellent real-life definition of what the words “holy cow awesome” mean.
This week, Sweet Can Productions is in town at the Walton Arts Center and from the looks of the promo materials we’ve received, their performances seem equally as fun.
Beginning tonight and lasting through Wednesday, the Sweet Can crew is hosting several Open Circus Studios for families at 6pm. Cost is just $5 per child (ages 7-16) and parents get in for free. Folks will get to watch an open rehearsal by Sweet Can and they’ll also get the chance to test their skills with circus apparatus like aerial silk, trapeze, rolla bollas, and juggling equipment.
On Thursday, the troupe will begin a string of 4 performances of their Yes Sweet Can show in the Starr Theater and we have a pair of tickets to give away for opening night (Thursday July 30, 7pm) to one lucky winner.
