Stars Above melds contemporary and classical circus elements, featuring an all-star cast of American and international circus performers. This all-ages production is performed outdoors under the vast canopy of sky and stars on a custom-built circular stage and aerial rig. The show captures the nostalgia and intimacy of early nineteenth-century touring circuses while portraying a single day in the life of a traveling family troupe. The production explores and celebrates our interwoven connections to loved ones, community, and what we've lost.
The 2023 season showcases new acts alongside returning fan favorites, featuring a diverse array of talents from sixth-generation circus performers to exceptional artists from renowned circus schools worldwide.
“We’re so happy to bring Stars Above back on the road for a third season. This year we’ve expanded the show with even more thrilling acts, including an incredible rollerskating duo and a mesmerizing acrobatic bicycle act.”
Stars Above offers three seating categories to accommodate different preferences: General Admission, where patrons bring their own portable chair or blanket; Premium Seating, which includes a comfortable outdoor spectator lawn chair with excellent views; and the VIP Experience, featuring prime center front seating with the most padded and comfortable chairs, ensuring the best possible vantage point for the mesmerizing performances.
This is a special event which is not part of the NACL Member benefits program; All attendees, including NACL Members, must purchase tickets via the buttons above.
See you at the circus!
