"CIRCLE OF SAWDUST: The Mud, Myth, Mayhem, and Magic of Circus!" with Rob Mermin

Rob Mermin, founder of the international youth company Circus Smirkus, will entertain with an evening of personal anecdotes and film clips on circus history.

history on March 25th at 7:00 p.m at Alternatives located at 4730 N. Sheridan Rd. Chicago, IL 60640.

Included in the presentation will be clips from 25 Hollywood circus feature films. Come hear his illustrated tales of wacky characters and wild escapades!

Mermin is an award-winning performer, with Copenhagen's Gold Clown, Russia's Best Director Prize, and the Governor's Award of Excellence, Vermont's highest honor in the arts.
