Kids with sensory processing disorder or other sensory issues will feel comfortable
at this special sensory-friendly performance of St. Louis' own Circus Flora.
Circus Flora: One Summer on 2nd Street takes the audience back to the Jazz Age, a time when American cities grew rapidly, becoming home to families from all walks of life and corners of the map. You'll journey to a typical block in a typical city on a typical day and meet some very atypical families!
Also appearing are favorites The Flying Wallendas, graceful acrobats, trained camels from the Canary Islands, and a daring equestrian bareback rider. This is the 29th Big Top production for St. Louis' own Circus Flora.
Tickets are $10 to $20 for this special 1 p.m. performance. Circus Flora is held under the air-conditioned red and white big top tent at the corner of Grand Blvd. and Samuel Shepard Drive in St. Louis, next to Powell Hall.
