Stars Above -Brattleboro, VT

Created by 2020 Drama Desk nominees and founders of Hideaway Circus, Stars Above is a new outdoor family friendly circus show touring around the North East of the United States in August and September of 2021. Set to original music and reimagined cover songs, Stars Above is a fresh take on the nostalgic small touring circuses from two hundred years ago.

Featuring an all-star cast of circus performers and musicians, the show centers around a day in the life of a traveling family troupe. Combining elements of contemporary and classical circus, Stars Above explores the connections to our loved ones, community, and the things we have lost.

This summer Hideaway Circus is partnering with over a dozen local organizations to offer affordable blocks of tickets for individuals and families that have been hit hard this past year and a half. Bringing folks back together with their local communities to share in the exhilaration, joy and nostalgia of the circus is more important than ever.
