The Circus is Coming to Roseville

Circus Vargas will be pitching up its blue and gold tent in Roseville soon. The circus is coming to town at the Thursday, Sept. 8 through Monday, Sept. 12.

They'll be bringing their Big Top tent as seen in the book-turned-film "Water for Elephants" to Roseville for their new 2011 production. This edition of Circus Vargas takes you on an artistic journey, encompassing the cultures of the world, in a series of vignettes depicting the experiences, memories and visions of a traveling circus performer.

Circus-goers will go on a captivating jaunt across the globe, seen through the eyes of aerialists, acrobats, comedians and more, as they transcend language, age and cultural barriers. Thirty minutes before show time, fans will get a pre-show peek into the world of Circus Vargas, hosted by reality TV personality from the CBS show "The Amazing Race," Jon Weiss.

Prior to every show, Weiss will be front and center welcoming the audience and inviting children to take a "center stage" look at life under the Big Top. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the pre-show action, and to join Weiss as he guides them on a quick crash course in circus skill and stamina.
