This year’s production follows Clara’s fantasy voyage through circus-themed worlds inhabited by jugglers, dancers, puppets, villains, and six brilliant and talented rescue dogs. Additional highlights include a talking scarlet macaw (Lauren Macaw), a multiple world-record holding juggler (Scott Sorenson), unicycling (Darren Peterson), balancing and ballet, a live jazz piano arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite, original songs, and much more.
