In Old-World Italian tradition, the Zoppe An Italian Family Circus welcomes you into their intimate 500-seat tent for a one-ring circus. This magnificent show is propelled by a central story featuring acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning and plenty of audience participation. Giovanni Zoppe, the sixth-generation circus performer who plays Nino the clown, says the show aims higher than what passes for circuses these days. “We try to touch every emotion during the show,” he says. “They’ll laugh, they’ll cry, and they’ll feel for the characters.”
