The delightful Circus Center is a San
Francisco institution, bringing circus arts to our community so that everyone,
great and small, can experience the innovation, creativity and wonder of
circus. So step right up, ladies and gentlemen, because for the very first
time, Children’s Fairyland is partnering with the Center to present “Circus Caps for Sale” under our very own Oakland big top.
And judging by the squeals of dozens of happy
children who attended the first performance on the morning of July 7, we’re
pretty sure we have a hit on our hands.
Our production of “Circus Caps,” based on the classic children’s books by Esphyr Slobodkina, features not only an array of accomplished
performers but also the stage debut of Fairyland’s mini-horse, Pixie.
