Circus Flora is a beloved summer tradition in St. Louis. To celebrate its 40th anniversary season, the performing arts organization will present Flying High, an all-new show running from June 4 to 21 at The Big Top in Grand Center. Set to dazzle audiences with its unique combination of world-class circus performers, exceptional storytelling and live original music, Flying High transforms an ordinary high school into an extraordinary academy of wonder. Step into halls and classrooms filled with acrobats, aerialists, jugglers and class clowns, along with an unforgettable faculty whose astonishing skills turn every moment into a spectacular surprise. “Circus Flora has always been about what happens when artists and audiences come together, when a room holds its breath and then erupts in laughter or applause,” artistic and executive director Jack Marsh says. “After 40 years in St. Louis, seeing generations of families return summer after summer is deeply moving. This anniversary season celebrates that shared history and the simple, powerful joy of experiencing live performance together.”
