    The Circus is Coming to Stratford! SHS Playhouse presents Barnum!

    Barnum is a musical with a book by Mark Bramble, lyrics by Michael Stewart, and music by Cy Coleman. It is based on the life of showman P. T. Barnum, covering the period from 1835 through 1880 in America and major cities of the world where Barnum took his performing companies. The production combines elements of traditional musical theater with the spectacle of the circus. The characters include jugglers, trapeze artists and clowns, as well as such real-life personalities as Jenny Lind, and General Tom Thumb.

    As he presents his circus acts around the world, Barnum resists joining with James Anthony Bailey. Finally, after his beloved wife Charity dies, he relents and joins with Bailey and they form the famous circus Barnum and Bailey.

    Students at Stratford High School have been training since the summer with Fanny Kerwich, an eighth generation circus artist. You will be amazed by the students on trapeze and aerial.

    Also included is a pre-show with balloon artists, jugglers, and photo opportunities with the clowns.

    This will be a fun outing and great experience for all ages!
