Do Circus Squad Burrage Mansion Show
Normally in May, the Redland's circus community gathers for the annual Great All American Youth Circus show. Sadly for a second year we will be without a live performance, and CCAC has had to find new ways to give back. Please enjoy our first ever virtual show, "Zoom into Circus". The Do Circus Squad is an amazing group of young adult performers who have partnered with CCAC to help keep our circus traditions alive during these difficult times. They have put together this virtual show as a gift to the circus community. After the show, stay tuned for a message from Circus Director Emily Glisberg and a special look back at highlights from the 2020 rehearsal season. Thanks very much for your continued love and support of CCAC and Circus in Redlands.
Just a friendly reminder that it is time to renew your CCAC membership. A membership costs $35 for the year and helps CCAC to provide scholarships, host circus workshops, and support circus in Redlands. Thank you for your continued support of CCAC.
