This summer, circus fans of all ages can beat the heat at reasonable prices while experiencing the best of the circus arts in Sarasota, Fla.
Florida State University's The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Circus Arts Conservatory present the 2022 Summer Circus Spectacular June 10-Aug. 13, at the Historic Asolo Theatre at The Ringling (5401 Bay Shore Rd., Sarasota).
"Each year we are thrilled to partner with the Ringling to present the Summer Circus Spectacular," said Jennifer Mitchell, executive vice president of the Circus Arts Conservatory.
