Opening Night Cirque Soirée & World Premiere of Daring to be Dumbo May 10, 2013

Come one, come all, to a Circus Spectacular Weekend! This modern interpretation of the classic children's story Dumbo will take you on an emotional journey somewhere between fantasy and reality. Choreographed by David Rousseve for the Dancing Wheels Company, the backdrop for the dance is a school somewhere in America. The story of a teenage girl unfolds to reveal the trauma and triumph she experiences when bullied and ostracized for her differences. It is not until the teenage girl and Dumbo meet in a fantastical pink elephant dream sequence that she can embrace her differences. The brilliant musical score, oversized puppetry and multi-media effects make this story book performance of conquering adversity appropriate for audiences of all ages.

Your evening includes cocktails, gourmet circus fare & a silent auction prior to the 8:00 p.m. performance. Stay after the performance for champagne, coffee bar & desserts.
