Portland Ovations Presents Jamie Adkins, in One-Man Show, Circus INcognitus 11/13

Portland Ovations presents circus artist, Jamie Adkins, in his one-man show, Circus INcognitus, on Saturday, November 13th at the South Portland Auditorium in South Portland High School. Two performances are scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

An alumnus of the famed Pickle Family Circus, Cirque Eloize and a featured soloist with Cirque du Soleil, Jamie Adkins' clowning and acrobatic pedigree is unparalleled. Children and adults alike will revel in his unforgettable one-man comedy, Circus INcognitus, which brings to life the story of a man who has something to say, but can't quite get it out. Whether precariously balancing upon a slack wire or deftly maneuvering a jaw full of ping-pong balls, Jamie leads audiences on a thrilling, humorous and ultimately inspiring adventure about having the courage to try new ideas, pushing them to their limits, and not giving up when all goes wrong.

Ovations Offstage is offering a masterclass in circus arts with Jamie Adkins on
Friday, November 12th from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Merriconeag Waldorf School's Community Hall, located at 57 Desert Road in Freeport.
