Ever want to run away and join the circus?

Now is your chance! We are currently taking applications for our 2009 Circus Smirkus Big Top Tour! If you are between the ages of 10 and 18 next summer, are interested in circus, and have a good stage presence, you should apply!

There is a tuition fee for the touring program. This cost covers your training, housing, food, uniform and transportation costs for the tour period, which is from early June to mid-August. No one is denied participation because of financial need. If you are accepted into the troupe, you may apply for scholarship aid at that time.

If you would like to audition for the 2009 Tour, please download the following forms:

All forms and information are due back to Circus Smirkus by November 14, 2008.

After the 14th, the videotapes and personal questionnaires will be reviewed. Letters telling if you have been invited to LIVE AUDITIONS will be sent at the end of November.

Even if you don't dream of being a Trouper on our Big Top Tour, you can look forward to Circus Smirkus fun by applying to Smirkus Camp and by attending one or more of the nearly 80 performances of our Big Top Tour as it travels through New England.

If you are having trouble with downloading the forms above or have any other questions, please e-mail us at tour@smirkus.org or call 1-802-533-7443 x27.
