Students to Perform in Strange Westchester Circus

Let Westchester Circus Arts take you into the world of the strange with its second student performance “Bizarre Bazaar.” 

Watch the school’s spring students, aged 5 to 62-years-old, swing and fly through the air, show off their amazing juggling skills and make you giggle as funny clowns in the show lead by Ringmaster and Co-Director Carlo Pellegrini.

“Bizarre Bazaar is full of 'ordinary' people doing extraordinary things,” said Hilary Sweeney, founder and co-director of Westchester Circus Arts. “You will be inspired by this remarkable group of students performing in their second student showcase!”
