Circus Juventas Launches Summer Spectacular Today

Circus Juventas, the largest youth performing arts circus school in North America, presents their 21st Summer Spectacular this year from today, July 31 through August 16. Legendary storyteller Scheherazade's 1001 Nights comes to life, weaving her Arabian tales into one exotic adventure set in raucous bazaars, domed palaces, and bandit desert caverns-all told through the circus arts and more than a little mystical magic.

This summer, audiences join love-struck Aladdin on a treacherous journey to find a lamp like no other. Only the all-powerful Genie, held captive within, can help him win the love of the beautiful princess Jasmine. This action-packed adventure begins at the mysterious cave of wonders where jewels come to life in a deadly display of balanced precision, a whirlwind of demonic Jinns practice their aerial sorcery, and a twisting web of venomous snakes are conjured by the evil vizier Jafar. With the help of Jasmine's gaggle of mischief-making sisters, the triangle of teen idol Sinbad and his duo of battle-hardened monster killers, along with the reluctant hero Ali Baba and her wall-jumping thieves, Aladdin may finally catch the eye, and the heart, of his beloved.

Tickets for all performances go on sale Monday, June 29, and will be available through Ticketworks at ticketworks.com or 612-343-3390 or by calling the Circus Juventas box office at 651-699-8229. All seats are reserved.
