    Circus Flora – The Wizard: Merlin & the Legends of King Arthur

    Let's say (hypothetically) you're a cynical 25-year-old who has never been to the circus and you happen to have tickets to Circus Flora's 2012 incarnation, The Wizard, after a particularly grownup day filled with pesky grownup problems. Stipulate... More »

  • 2011 | Best Supporting Actor

    With his cherry-red cap, tie and nose, Nino the Clown is the most readily recognizable member of the Circus Flora troupe that charms audiences every May. Nino's real name is Giovanni Zoppé; He was once the scion of a sixth-generation circus family in Italy; now he has aged into one of the family patriarchs.

Are you looking for educational programs that encourage the participation of students? They've got it. Do you want a company that offers a track record of solidity? Circus Flora has been entertaining St. Louis audiences every spring for 22 years.

And it's all done on the most intimate terms. Someone once described a poem as "the shortest distance between you and the subject." By that definition, what a viewer experiences every June under the small big top at Circus Flora is theatrical poetry.
