Event

Cirque Du Schwazee'

The Arcata Playhouse will host the 5th Annual Cirque Du Schwazee', an evening of circus and variety entertainment with kids and adults as a benefit for the Playhouse youth programs. The excitement begins with Bandamonium and Giant Puppets dancing out front at 6:00 p.m. and the wonderfully playful Sideshow Midway happening inside. In the midway you can wrestle a strong man, have fun fishing with marionettes, have your fortune told, get your portrait drawn, watch the world's greatest shorts plays, have your face painted and more. Then at 7 p.m. the Great Schwazah appears played by Zuzka Sabata, with her circus variety show featuring special guests that include Playhouse Spring Break Camp kids, Shoshanna, David Ferney, Leslie Castellano, Dell Arte' Clowns, Sean's Shadows, and live music by Calliope. The whole evening benefits the Playhouse youth programs which includes artists in the schools, youth workshops in the spring and summer and a year round teen program. This is a wonderful evening of excitement for the whole family.
Tickets are only $12 for adults and $8 for kids and are available at Wildberries, or call the 822-1575 for reservations. The Arcata Playhouse is located at 1251 9th Street at 9th and L streets in Arcata. For additional information visit arcataplayhouse.org.
