The fabulous Venardos Circus, a Broadway-style animal-free circus, is coming back to Indiana for the second year in a row! The show will be held at The Shops at Perry Crossing in Plainfield, IN with its all-new “Live Your Circus Dream” Tour from September 5-15, 2024. This season the wondrous Venardos Circus cast will take audiences on a journey under the big top as it unveils a fresh, magical, and all-new experience for fans.
The show features an original score, outstanding performers, stunning lighting, and dazzling costumes. The 2024 Venardos Circus is traveling with a new, custom-crafted, Italian-made red-and-white striped tent that offers expanded seating around a central stage for an immersive, family-friendly experience.
“Our cast and crew is thrilled to be coming to Indiana for the first time with a brand-new show,” said ringmaster and producer, Kevin Venardos. “This story promises to amaze and inspire and may even tug at a few heartstrings. It takes heart, courage, and tenacity to build a dream, but the outcome can be beautiful. That’s the message we hope to convey and share with the people of Indianapolis and the surrounding area.”
Guests can expect to be transported back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition, but one that has been reinvented for the next generation. The show schedule will be as follows:
