Palatine Park District Presents ‘The Magic Circus’


Will an evil villain shut down the circus?

Find out when Palatine Park District’s Family Friendly Theatre presents “The Magic Circus” by Eileen Mitchell, on Monday, March 25 and March 26.

Performances are at 10:30 a.m. each day at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood St., Palatine. Tickets are available.

When an evil villain threatens to shut down the circus, the performers realize it might take more than magic to save the show and they learn a little bit of help can get big results. Will Mystini the Magician find the rabbit in his hat? Will Gina the Ballerina be reunited with her trick pony? Will the circus open on time? Everyone’s help is needed, including the audience members who are encouraged to wear costumes.

Ballerinas, clowns, magicians, animals, and circus performers of all kinds are welcome. Playwright Eileen Mitchell shared, “I think live theater is magical and I want to share the magic, particularly with young audiences who might be inspired to pursue interests in the arts like singing, dancing or acting. It’s a great outlet for creativity and imagination, whether you’re performing onstage or enjoying the show as an audience member. It’s no coincidence my show is called The Magic Circus.”

The shows are suitable for children ages 3 to 12 years.
