Sideshow Shenanigans

Join the students of John Wollaston Anglican Community School as they present the theatre production Sideshow Shenanigans.

Sideshow Shenanigans

Here is your chance to rediscover the magic of the Big Top while learning what really goes on behind the scenes at an old west sideshow. 

Sideshow Shenanigans is a story that takes you back to a wild and woolly time in Californian history when the circus came to old San Juan Capistrano’s in 1871. This melodrama is a story that takes you to those bygone days waiting the whole year for the circus to come to town. You will be introduced to the Circus Ringmaster Professor Dante Inferno, fall in love with Cantankerous Kate, the circus’s quick-draw artist, and be enthralled with the sideshow’s sooth-sayer Madame Zorelda. 

Tickets are $10 each and selling fast with limited seats available for the matinee performance on Saturday 29 August 2020, 2:00pm.
