See the best circus artists in Chicago, and visiting guests from around the world, present their circus acts their way--no theme to perform to, no larger show concept--just their pure artistic vision. This is circus in it's most honest expression in a repurposed 114 year old church. We've been selling out this sweet show since 2017 and we can't wait to share it with you. Don't delay on tickets, since we do sell out. Sanctuary is BYOB, but keep it under control please. No large coolers.
