  • AQUÍ O ALLÁ: a circus story

    February 21st - March 22nd, 2026
    Saturdays 4pm & 7pm
    Sundays 3pm

    In a city that could be here, there, or anywhere else, a chosen family of misfit clowns arrives in search of a new home. Perhaps a bit deluded in their unrelenting sense of class and dignity, they bring chaos and joy in equal measure as they build a house out of nothingness. Surviving the urban jungle proves harsher than imagined, but with play and warmth, they face the reality of where they came from and where they're meant to be... ultimately finding belonging in each other!

    This Winter Circus is in association with La Vuelta Theatre Lab and will feature Jean Carlos Claudio, Kat Hoil, Kaitlyn Andrews, and Glenna Broderick, as well as members of the Actors Gym’s Teen Ensemble.

    *Not recommended for audiences 5 years of age and under

Quotation marks

Everyone should see something at the Actors Gymnasium at least once. If only to remember the fluttery feeling of joy in your heart that only circus can invoke.
