The 23rd Children's Circus of Middletown: The Quest for the Golden Nose

Oddfellows Playhouse and the Middletown Commission on the Arts present the 23rd Children’s Circus of Middletown; The Quest for the Golden Nose.  The one-time-only show will be presented on August 5 at 5 PM at Macdonough School, with a rain date of August 6 at 5 PM. 

The Children’s Circus is a 5-week, half-day program for children ages 8-14 that has become not only a huge local event but also a national model for nonprofit municipal partnerships.  This year Steve Ginsburg, one of the founders of HartBeat Ensemble, joins the circus in his first year as director.  The performance also features the live circus band of local musicians led by Eric Kuhn, costumes by Betsy Spiro, and design by Jason Leinwand. 

This year, Oddfellows is asking everyone to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to Amazing Grace Food Pantry.  Bring a lawn chair and enthusiasm to Macdonough School and enjoy the spectacle.  The 23rd Children’s Circus of Middletown will perform at 5 PM on August 5 at 66 Spring Street in Middletown.
