The Vegetable Circus is a series of programs that use circus arts to teach children fun ways to grow up healthy. We offer interactive juggling theater shows, structured multi-week after-school enrichment programs, and encompassing skill-toy workshops. Our goal is to introduce children to healthy, confidence-raising activities that can become life-long passions.
Our after-school enrichment program is currently serving 4 elementary schools every week outside Boston, teaching juggling, sphereplay, hula-hooping, acrobatics, balancing, & many more circus skills in a comfortable atmosphere. We use our rest time between activities to also teach lessons in respect, friendship, and relevant health and nutrition facts. Regardless of the venue, the mission of the Vegetable Circus is: To challenge children to realize the truths behind the foods they eat, the commercials they see, and how they spend their free time, all while empowering them to relax, recognize their strengths, and express themselves.
