SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. (SNN) — It’s time to secure your tickets for an enchanting holiday experience with “A Brave New Wonderland.”
The show is set to amaze with world-class circus artists, featuring none other than Sarasota’s own King of the High Wire, Nik Wallenda.
Wallenda has teamed up with the Circus Arts Conservatory (CAC) to create what they’re hoping will become a new south Florida Holiday tradition.
“If anything Sarasota can be assured in, if Circus Arts Conservatory and Nik Wallenda partner up, it’s going to be an amazing production,” said Wallena.
The immersive holiday spectacle, “A Brave New Wonderland,” promises not only world-class circus artists and breathtaking visual elements, but also an important message.
“Never give up, which is every autograph that I sign, or a message of hope, a message of security, a message of unity, and that’s really what this show is about,” said Wallenda.
The show will take audiences on a journey alongside a young boy named Johnny.
“You will follow a small orphan who actually learns all of the holidays from Kwanzaa to Hanukkah to Christmas. As he learns about those holidays, you guys are going to learn as well,” said Wallenda.
In addition to the King of the High Wire, the CAC promises a series of mesmerizing acts.
“You’re going to see incredible artistry, the Wallendas, the most famous legacy family on the wire, you’re going to see aerialists and comedians, as well as incredible artists from around the world,” said CAC Executive Vice President Jennifer Mitchell.
With 45 shows to choose from, over 50,000 attendees are expected.
“This is the legacy, and the circus capital of the world. This kind of partnership and project should be happening and we’re so excited. The community has responded with great positive energy and we can’t wait to bring crowds into our big top on November 18th,” said Mitchell.
Performances at the big top by UTC run from Nov. 18 to Dec. 31.
