The Protégé Show | Curbside Stories
May 21 & 22

Join us on May 21 & 22 for an unforgettable evening where circus artistry meets imagination!

Curbside Stories is SANCA’s annual Protégé show, where our advanced students bring a neighborhood to life through circus arts and storytelling. Set on a lively street preparing for a sidewalk sale, the show unfolds through the objects neighbors choose to part with—or hold onto. Each item sparks a story, and as performers climb, spin, and fly, we discover the memories, identities, and connections that turn the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Blending heart, humor, and high-level circus artistry, Curbside Stories celebrates the beauty of shared histories and the courage to let go, inviting audiences of all ages to see the magic hidden in everyday moments.

Featuring aerial arts, flying trapeze, and other thrilling circus performances!

All ages are welcome!
