Ham and eggs, Bogie and Bacall, circus and Sarasota—certain combos seem
inevitable. Once the winter home of the mighty Ringling Bros. and Barnum
& Bailey Circus, Sarasota remains a year-round mecca for both retired
and practicing show folks. Inspiring new generations of both performers
and appreciators, Sarasota’s Circus Arts Conservatory (CAC) is partnering
with The Ringling Museum for the 12th time to present the Summer Circus
Spectacular in the Historic Asolo Theater from June 11-August 3.
