My old friend Al Stanger, the St. Louis juggler and human calculator, brought me to the City Museum tonight, where Circus Day (a great organization that works to build character and expand community through teaching circus skills!) teamed up with the Galilee Circus (a Jewish/Arab youth circus) and the St. Louis Arches (this area’s youth circus) to perform as “The Galilee Arches.”

It was a great show where these kids showed amazing teamwork despite language barriers (most of the kids spoke only English or Arabic or Hebrew) and they did impressive variety arts: juggling, highwire stunts, balancing acts, acrobatics, unicycling, flying through the air. 

You can see Circus Day’s shows at City Museum pretty regularly. It is a great cause, and since its just a few blocks from our apartment, we like to go frequently.
