Secret Circus is the story of a traveling circus in 1930’s-era Europe, racing against time to smuggle to safety people deemed physically unacceptable by the rising fascist regime. One refugee, Anya, must confront her own discomfort with the sideshow prodigies of the circus even as she accepts their help in fleeing persecution. It is a touching, exciting, and beautiful show. Secret Circus was last performed in Greenbelt ten years ago, by Camp Encore. The 2015 edition of the show features an expanded story, with additional songs, new dialogue, and enhanced circus production values.

Tickets: $5; advanced sales at 301-397-2208.

The age-old question: What if a man’s best friend is a six-foot-tall invisible rabbit? Okay, so maybe that’s not an age-old question, but it opens up another: Is there any way to get rid of a six-foot-tall invisible rabbit if his best friend is determined not to let him go? This hilarious and touching comedy is not to be missed.
