'Haunted Circus' Returns For 2 Days To Philly Circus Arts School

MT. AIRY, PHILADELPHIA — Halloween fun is coming to the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts next weekend in the form of the school's Haunted Circus.

On Friday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Oct. 29, guests can explore the dark and spooky path inside one of Mt. Airy’s most mysterious and grand 100-year-old properties.

To start the evening, the frights begin at 6:30 p.m.

The path involves a 10-minute walk-through experience with a small group.

Paths are only accessible by staircase.

Groups will depart on the paths according to their timed tickets.

For those who survive, they will find their way to the church Sanctuary, where a Halloween celebration awaits with drinks, entertainment, craft making and a haunted circus show.

The show starts at 8 p.m. with a fiery ending.

There will also be special performances from local youth troupes.

The production team, made up of Rachel Lancaster, Victoria Pirenoglu, Elliot Gittelsohn, prioritized making the path and showcase of PSCA’s students both spooky and artistically entertaining.

"Haunted Circus Mansion is one of Philly Circus's biggest annual events," PSCA’s Haunted Circus Mansion Coordinator Victoria Pirenoglu said. "Every year our students both adult and youth get excited about putting together fun, eerie, sometimes silly Halloween acts for the public. This year our haunted path is being done by our Youth Troupe - be prepared to see some spooky creatures! Philadelphia School of Circus Arts has a history of presenting some exciting Halloween shows. The building and grounds have so much character and personality, every year we are trying something new to add life to different parts of campus and create a different experience than the year before. We hope to see everyone out from our Mt. Airy and Germantown community, as well as families from around the region."

The Philadelphia School of Circus Arts is located at 6452 Greene St.
