Juggling pigs, a witch on trapeze, three acrobatic bears and a host of magical characters draw a record number of “straw houses” (sold out shows) to Smirkus Ever After: A Big Top Fairytale. The editor of Spectacle magazine calls the show “the most successful and creative circus I have seen in a very long time.” The Vermont Arts Council highlights Smirkus School Residency programs as a way for kids to master learning strategies while having fun. Smirkus Summer Camp takes a final bow at Sterling College. Next stop, Lyndon Institute.
