Circus Juventas offers matinee performances of the summer show exclusively for school-age summer groups and senior groups. These 75 minutes long, school matinees are an abbreviated version of our summer production (first half of show), which feature our most advanced performers. This is a wonderful opportunity for a fun field trip — and perfect for school groups that include a variety of age levels. Group tickets are extremely popular and there are a limited number of performances; we recommend ordering far in advance. Performances begin promptly at the listed show times. Some groups arrive early and eat lunch in the adjacent park before the performance. The concession stand is not open during the school shows. Please inform us in advance of any accessible seating needs. Groups need to coordinate their own transportation to CJ and should plan to arrive no later than 12:40pm. It is very important to allow enough travel time as performances begin promptly. Late arrivals will be seated at the discretion of management so as to not cause undue interruption to patrons and performers. Summer of 2025 – get ready for an electrifying journey through time and Tinsel Town with a twist of paranormal intrigue as Circus Juventas presents: LUMIÈRE! A ghostbuster-style gang of teens stumbles upon an abandoned, decaying hotel once steeped in the glitz and glamour of Old Hollywood. Intrigued by the paranormal, the precocious crew attempts to uncover the truth behind the mystery of a vanished starlet who disappeared from the red carpet at her first film premiere. When a bolt of lightning zaps them back in time to 1939, they find themselves amidst the dazzling iconic stars of the Golden Age in the bustling hotel, complete with bellhops bouncing on red carpets and paparazzi ogling glittery starlets in the air. As the teens race against time to save the starlet, they are thrown into a surreal twilight zone where nothing is as it seems. Against a backdrop of glamour, suspense, farce and a taste of the supernatural, join the adventurous teens as they face their greatest fears. Traverse into the phantasmic 5th dimension spinning with luminaries, bellhops, gangsters and studio heads to navigate the shining lights and eerie shadows of Old Hollywood in a bid to rewrite history. Ultimately, they learn that true beauty and value lie not in fame or status, but in the character-defining moments revealing what is truly important when everything else fades.
