Back by popular demand, Venardos Circus (veh-NARR-dos), a Broadway-style animal-free circus, is thrilled to return to Colorado Springs at Norris Penrose Event Center, 1045 Lower Gold Camp Road Colorado Springs, CO, 80905 from May 11 through 21, 2023. This season, Venardos Circus leans into its motto of “Let’s Build a Dream” as it unveils a whole new experience for fans in its brand new, Italian-made red-and-white striped tent with expanded seating around a central stage. There will be 15 shows over two weeks. The tent will be set up the day prior to opening night.
In the brand-new larger tent, fans will still enjoy the intimate feel and proximity to the performers but with enhanced views of aerial acts due to the taller design of the tent. The VIP Experience will offer assigned seating closest to the stage with guests escorted to their positions, provided with a special swag bag, and awarded with other special experiences. Premium seating will occupy a multi-tier riser to provide greater visibility.
Guests can expect to be transported back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition, but one that has been reinvented for the next generation. The show schedule will be as follows:
- Thursday, May 11 – 7:00 p.m.
- Friday, May 12 – 7:00 p.m.
- Saturday, May 13 – 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m.
- Sunday, May 14 – 1:00 p.m. & 4:00 p.m.
- Wednesday, May 17 – 7:00 p.m.
- Thursday, May 18 – 7:00 p.m.
- Friday, May 19 – 7:00 p.m.
- Saturday, May 20 – 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m.
- Sunday, May 21 – 1:00 p.m. & 4:00 p.m.
