Sailor Circus 65th Anniversary Show: LEGACY
Sailor Circus Academy celebrates its 65th anniversary when the legendary program presents nine performances from Thursday, March 27, through Saturday, April 5 entitled LEGACY. This spring production reflects the confluence of two celebrations. The 65th Anniversary of Sailor Circus is  onesuch celebration, representing Sarasota’s distinctive eight-decade circus heritage of which The Sailor Circus is a part. The other celebration is the Patterson Foundation’s “ Legacy of Valor” campaign. As a result, the patriotic red, white and blue Sailor Circus “LEGACY” theme pays tribute to the U.S. Military and to our nation’s veterans.
What began as a high school gymnastics activity in 1949 has blossomed into a colossal four-ring extravaganza. Over the decades it has garnered national acclaim as America’s longest-running youth circus: a legacy of the talented elementary, junior high and high school students who comprise the cast and crew of “The Greatest Little Show on Earth!” Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Volunteers Make The CAC Shine
This past Saturday, parents, students and circus fans staffed a booth at a community event called Springfest. This is just one of the many ways that volunteers help us to spread the word on all the great shows, outreach programs, classes and good stuff that is happening at The Circus Arts Conservatory. At The CAC we rely on the generous support we get from our volunteers. We can never thank them enough for all of their hard work and effort in making us shine. So many thanks to all of you, who help us spread the word! There are many opportunities at our shows, around our facilities or in our administrative office to lend a helping hand. If you know of anyone interested in donating some time and talent to our organization, please have them contact us at: 941-355-9335 or email at [email protected].
