This isn’t your first go-round under the big top, so you probably think you know what to expect. Popcorn, peanuts, thrills, chills, etc., right? Well, right. But Universoul Circus adds a whole new dimension of spectacle to the circus experience with this hip-hopping, vaudevillian event full of acrobatics, exotic animals, comedy and dance. From Wednesday through Sunday, August 11, at the Southwest Center Mall, 3662 W. Camp Wisdom Road, the whole family can enjoy the antics of Zeke the Ringmaster Sidekick and enjoy the zany comedy of Onionhead the Clown, as well as daring capers from John Jairo and his eight magnificent tigers. Check out Jean Claude and his aerial ballet performance and watch the Soul Circus Divas as they unleash their bag of tricks with a little help from their majestic elephant pals. Check ticketmaster.com for showtimes and to purchase tickets, which range from $19 to $29.
