Circus Flora is going underground for the 2022 production of The Quest for the Innkeeper's Cask! In the show, the caves beneath St. Louis have fascinated the city's residents for generations. Each cave has its own story. its own mystery, its own secrets.  In The Quest for the Innkeeper's Cask, Circus Flora's troupe seeks an ancient relic, rumored to have mystical powers, and believe to be somewhere beneath the city's streets.
