Circus Flora Explores ‘Sherwood Forest’ In 22nd Season Production
St. Louis’ One-Ring Circus to Perform All New Show in Grand Center, June 5-22
Tickets on sale NOW!
Circus Flora — St. Louis’ adored one-ring circus — has announced an all new show for its 22nd season production “Sherwood Forest,” a tribute to the legend of Robin Hood and his band of merry men. The show will premiere June 5–22 under the air-conditioned red and white big top in Grand Center, St. Louis’ Arts and Entertainment District, adjacent to Powell Hall (Grand Blvd. and Samuel Shepard Dr.)
The Circus Flora ensemble will bring this classic tale to life — the perfect story to showcase a myriad of acrobatics, animals, antics and music.
With its rich performance history and world-renowned circus stars, Circus Flora takes its performers on a journey through time to Medieval England. Complete with horses, heroes and hilarious adventures, Robin Hood fights to bring justice to Sherwood Forest.
Many of the world’s greatest circus performers become his merry band of outlaws, using their skills to conduct daring raids against the tyrannies of the villain, the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham! They take from the rich and give to the poor, winning the hearts of the villagers, especially the lovely Maid Marian and her ladies-in-waiting.
In addition to premiering an entirely new show, Circus Flora will introduce a brand new theater seating system as well. Gone are the days of metal bleachers without backs. Sit back and relax in individual bucket seats as Robin Hood and his merry men whisk you away to Sherwood Forest!
Showtimes are: Tuesday through Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m.; Sunday at 1 and 5 p.m.; and “Little Top Wednesday” at 10 a.m., a special one-hour show for the kids or the “kids at heart.”
Tickets for “Sherwood Forest” are $8 - $35. Look for special FANtastic Tuesday prices. Tickets are available at all MetroTix outlets, MetroTix.com, as well as by phone through MetroTix, (800) 293-5949, at the Circus Flora Box Office in the Centene Center for the Arts & Education and by calling Circus Flora, (314) 289-4040.
