Cirque Us Stories 2024 Fall Tour

Cirque Us is thrilled to share that "Cirque Us Stories" will be back this fall for its Second Tour and marking the 12th Cirque Us Tour.

"Cirque Us Stories" was created in the Fall of 2023 with a mission to spread circus magic and build confident communities by partnering with schools, libraries, and community centers. We believe access to high-quality performance and arts education is a precious commodity, and we are so excited to support the reach and accessibility of the arts with this show. Looking ahead, we have exciting plans and hopes to see droves of new audiences, young readers, and future artists attend Cirque Us Stories free of charge, all across New England.

Last year's Tour was a huge success as we navigated new partnerships, developed our educational outreach, and created a show about community and identity. Our goal was to develop and fine-tune a show with the hopes of bringing it even more communities and, with your help, we did just that! This project’s long-term goal is to become a staple of the communities we visit, functioning to inspire young artists, support literacy and arts education, and fundraise for schools, libraries, and other community centers.

This year, in addition to bringing our show across the Midwest and East Coast, we have the opportunity to perform at the Midwest Arts Expo. This conference will get our show in front of hundreds of agents, producers, bookers and is crucial to making sure that Stories able to be performed at a variety of venues in the coming years.

To continue to build upon the momentum that was started last year, we’re turning to you for help. Support from the greater Cirque Us community has always been crucial in our operations, and with the greatest humility and gratitude we’re asking for aid in whatever amount you can afford. Your donation not only assures you another great season of top-tier circus, but also our ability to share that circus with the most new faces to date.
