DESCRIPTION:Event Name:\nVenardos Circus presents “Far Beyond” \nEvent Date:\nJuly 31 – August 10 \nWebsite / Ticket Link:\nvenardoscircus.com \nLocation:\nWaterfront Park Great Lawn \nEvent Host:\nVenardos Circus \nEvent Description / Other Info:\nWhat do you do when the dream comes true? You take it on the road and share it with the world! Venardos Circus is thrilled to announce the launch of a SECOND Touring Company and an All-New Production “FAR BEYOND.” The show will play Waterfront Park\, July 31 – August 10\, 2025. \nTickets are on sale now! \nThe show features Singing Ringmaster Julia Swann\, the Reyes Brothers’ Juggling Perch Pole\, the Mind-Bending Contortion of Nordic Beauty Sno Bunta\, Slapstick Sensation Sam Ferlo\, Duo Dadiva’s Astonishing Aerial Acrobatics\, the Ridiculous Rob Lok\, Priscilla & Jonathan’s Diabolical Daggers\, and the Wicked Wheel of Wonder! All this and more are woven together with Venardos’ unique theatrical musical production style. This production explores what happens when a dream comes true\, what we discover about ourselves\, and ultimately the responsibility we all share to keep reaching “FAR BEYOND.” \n“This has been a dream in the making for a very long time” said Producer\, Kevin Venardos. “Everyone knows bringing a dream to fruition is no simple task and to create an entirely different touring company that mirrors the same talent\, values\, and level of professionalism we bring to our audiences is truly a labor of love. We cannot wait to visit more cities and introduce The Little Circus that Could to even more people.” \nThe magical experience that is the signature of Venardos Circus from the moment you enter the tent remains but with new acts\, music\, and a different dream to share. \nThe show schedule will be as follows:\n• Thursday\, July 31 – 7 p.m. OPENING NIGHT\n• Friday\, August 1 – 7 p.m.\n• Saturday\, August 2 – 2 p.m.\, 5 p.m.\n• Sunday\, August 3 – 2 p.m.\, 5 p.m.\n• Wednesday\, August 6 – 7 p.m.\n• Thursday\, August 7– 7 p.m.\n• Friday\, August 8 – 7 p.m.\n• Saturday\, August 9– 11 a.m.\, 2 p.m.\, 5 p.m.\n• Sunday\, August 10 – 2 p.m.\, 5 p.m. \nTickets:\nGeneral Admission tickets start at $16.95 for youth under the age of 12 and $27.95 for adults. One baby in arms is admitted free with each paying adult. (Two years old or younger per paying adult seated on a lap). Premier Gallery and VIP Experience Reserved seating is available. In the new\, larger tent\, fans will still enjoy the intimate feel and proximity to the performers but with enhanced views of aerial acts due to the taller design of the tent. The VIP Experience will offer assigned seating closest to the stage with guests escorted to their positions and other special experiences. Premier Gallery seating will occupy a multi-tier riser to provide greater visibility. Please visit http://www.Liveyourcircusdream.com for more information. \nThe circus performers are also the crew on this traveling tour\, much like the original circus tradition. There are no animals in Venardos Circus. \nParking: Doors open an hour prior to showtime. Concessions are available when doors open. Classic circus treats like fresh popcorn\, cotton candy\, house-made all-natural pink lemonade\, packaged candy\, and more are available for presale online or in the tent. The complete show schedule is available at http://www.VenardosCircus.com. \nWhat to expect on site:\n• The parking area is flat so there is easy handicap access between the lot and the tent.\n• Concessions are available but we encourage guests to order online when purchasing tickets. Contactless payment options available.\n• The main event lasts approximately 90 minutes\, with a brief intermission. \nAbout Venardos Circus:\nThe Venardos Circus\, a unique Broadway-Style Circus performance\, has been touring the U.S. since its debut at the L.A. County Fair in 2014. It is reinventing the American Circus tradition for a new generation with Broadway-style flair\, bringing joy to people across the U.S. Theatre lovers and nostalgic circus fans alike will appreciate the intimate experience and sentimental way the show pays homage to circus traditions through the lens of high-quality entertainment for a modern family audience. \nFor more information\, please visit http://www.venardoscircus.com
