"The Circus King"

Storyteller and musician, Sean Driscoll, combines comedy-theater, puppets, magic, music and animation into an extraordinary live performance. The show is about a young boy who is raised by a circus of misfits. The story is fully animated and shown on a big screen. The audience and cast of characters help the boy discover his destiny. The animated characters actually talk with the children and Sean. Then with a little magic they come right out of the screen as puppets! There is Ella the elephant with bad allergies. When she sings she sneezes and sprays the audience with water. There's also a lazy lion with curlers in his hair and crossed eyed acrobats swinging through the air. The show is loaded with laughter and audience participation.

There are two versions of the show one educational for schools and another non-educational for theaters or other venues just looking for an entertaining performance.
