A company that expresses the freedom of play through circus and performing arts, Cirque Us is a circus collective on our fourth summer tour. Our upcoming show, "RagTag: A Circus in Stitches" will open on June 22nd in White River Junction, VT and will tour around the east coast performing a total of 25 shows.
We will use this space to engage with our audiences in a new way by sharing the on and off stage details of what it is really like being a part of a circus.
