Curiouser and curiouser! A Broadway-style, animal-free circus is tumbling, flying, and laughing its way into Oklahoma City as Venardos Circus arrives at Chisholm Creek from April 16 – 26, 2026.

Inspired by the spirit of Alice, audiences are invited to step through the looking glass and under the iconic red-and-white striped big top, entering a delightfully unexpected world where gravity is optional, laughter is contagious, and extraordinary talent takes center ring. This imaginative production offers a fresh perspective on classic circus artistry—playful, fast-paced, and crafted for audiences of all ages.

The dynamic cast features an extraordinary lineup of world-class acrobats, fearless aerialists, masterful hand balancers, lightning-fast jugglers, and laugh-out-loud comedians, all working together to create a seamless and immersive experience. Each act unfolds like a chapter in a curious tale, filled with daring feats, precision, and whimsical humor that keeps audiences guessing what might happen next.

Traveling with a custom-crafted, Italian-made red-and-white striped tent, Venardos Circus offers expansive seating and enhanced sightlines, allowing guests to fully take in soaring aerial acts and breathtaking physical performances. Despite its larger scale, the tent preserves an intimate atmosphere that brings audiences thrillingly close to the action.

“Alice is about curiosity, imagination, and seeing the world from a different point of view,” said Producer Kevin Venardos. “Every performer under the big top is part of our traveling family—artists who bring incredible skill, humor, and heart to the ring. We invite guests to leave the ordinary behind and join us on a journey that’s surprising, joyful, and unforgettable.”

From the moment guests enter the tent, they are transported into a reimagined circus world where elegance meets excitement, and nothing is quite as it seems. Every performance invites audiences to shift their perspective, embrace the unexpected, and experience the magic that happens when curiosity takes the lead.
