    Founded in 2005, The Vegetable Circus is a series of programs that use circus & movement arts to teach children how to take control of their own health. We offer interactive juggling theater shows, structured multi-week after-school enrichment programs, event entertainment and encompassing skill-toy workshops. Our goal is to introduce children to healthy, confidence-raising activities that can become life-long passions.
