Summer Circus Spectacular 2012, Ringling Museum of Art

Also at 2 pm. For six fun-filled weeks in June and July, the entire spectrum of the Ringling legacy is on full display when the curtain goes up on the annual Summer Circus Spectacular at the Historic Asolo Theater. Presented each year in collaboration with Circus Sarasota, the Summer Circus Spectacular provides delightful—and affordable—summer entertainment for “children of all ages.”

Serving as Master of Ceremonies for 2012 will be the Emmy-Award winning, forty-year circus veteran, Steve Smith. Steve’s good humor and quick wit will be matched by the Chaplinesque clowning of the irrepressible Renaldo.

Once again—soaring high overhead—will be the magnificent Queen of the Air, Dolly Jacobs. Back on earth and at center stage, will be the magically mesmerizing and award-winning contortionist, Princess Elayne. And rounding out the show, the astonishing Poema family will dazzle and delight the audience with their risky acts of Risley—also known as “foot juggling.”
