[Newspoetry] Circus

[Trumpet Fanfare]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

The Circus is coming to town.

But this ain't no ordinary circus.

This circus will be performed by the members of the Prompting Theater, a
local Champaign/Urbana theater troupe comprised of adults with
developmental disabilities.  This troupe has been performing for over 5
years.

We'll be soaring through hoops, and flipping over each other as we open
your eyes to new skills and different ways of understanding the human
mobility.

This show will be presented Saturday, May 6th starting at 4 PM.  It will
be located in the Downtown Urbana Parking Garage (on Main Street, across
from the now-closed Cinema Cafe).  Tickets will be a $5-$10 donation at
the door, or a $1-$5 donation by calling 356-9176 (or by responding to
this email).  These tickets purchased early will be available for pick-up
at the door, unless requested otherwise.  

As well, a circus parade will be held the previous Friday, May 5th,
starting at 4 PM also, and likewise this will start from the Parking
Garage.  For this parade, everyone is welcomed and encouraged to
participate.  Volunteers from the community have been assisting other
community folks to make masks for this parade, and these masks will be
given out free to anyone walking by who would love to join us in this
parade.

Enjoyable by all ages, we invite you to run away with you spirit for an
afternoon.
