Circus Boy - A Daze Off Production

Since 1991, Palatine Park District’s Cultural Arts Coordinator Carol Lange has been scheduling the Daze Off series of shows.  These shows are usually held in Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center and offer the perfect way to introduce your children to the theater experience. This summer, Daze Off will once again offer two shows that are designed specifically for a young audience.

The first show will feature Circus Boy, also known as Bobby Hunt from Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus.  This high-energy performance features a blend of BMX trick bicycling, juggling, fire eating, audience participation, and riding the world’s smallest bike.  Bobby has performed on TNT, CBS, PBS, and “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” and has opened for many acts including the Beach Boys, Weird Al Yankovic and Billy Ray Cyrus.  According to the Chicago Sun Times, he offers “high powered comedy.” The Circus Boy show will take place on Wednesday, June 20 at 10:30am at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center.  Follow this link, http://bit.ly/KIEXtm, to see Circus Boy and his very tiny bike on Ripley’s Believe It or Not.”

Tickets for this show are just $6 per person, or $5 per person for groups of 20 or more.  Tickets can be purchased at www.cuttinghall.org or by calling the box office at 847-202-5222.
