OGDENSBURG -- Santa’s Circus, the magical world where dreams come true, will be presented Sunday afternoon Dec. 15 by Ogdensburg Command Performances.

Curtain time is 4 p.m. in George Hall Auditorium at Ogdensburg Free Academy.

For tickets, $19 to $43 [discounts for Seniors, Students, Groups of 15+, and “Friends”] call 315-393-2625 or visit ILoveTheatre.org.

This brand-new spectacular production has more than 30 performers including dancers, jugglers, tightrope walkers, contortionists, magicians, comedians, clowns, and trapeze artists. Breathtaking stunts, amazing skills, magic, illusions, comedy, and the unexpected await, said a OCP press release. Glittering costumes and the beautifully decorated set capture the essence of Christmas, the release said.

Santa’s Circus is the story of an orphaned girl who has stopped believing in Christmas. She takes an extraordinary adventure to the North Pole and learns the spirit of Christmas never disappears for those who believe. She encounters wonderful characters such as snowmen, penguins, angels, reindeer, toy soldiers, gingerbread men, and of course Santa himself.

Founder and director Francisco Javier Santos is the eighth generation of a family dedicated to live entertainment. From a young age Javier has been active in the best circus shows around the world, performing on five continents the ancient discipline of Icarian Games.

Costume and set designer Lisbeth Salazar has more than 20 years experience as a successful fashion designer, visual merchandiser, special event designer, brand builder, and consultant.

This performance is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts.
