This year, Spring Street International School ​takes on the American Civil War, in Side Show People in Shenandoah – A Civil War Circus.

35 performers have built a musical play out of an actual telegram sent from Winchester Virginia to the New York Times, ​o​n October 14th, 1863, at 7:00 AM:

Circus performers took last train out at 6:00 a.m. Left behind: 42 horses and mules, 33 indentured children, (and) over one hundred wild animals.

Heartbreak, hilarity, and mayhem ensue. And clowns.

This is an un-ticketed event with open seating; a $15.00 donation is suggested.

** Please note 6:00 pm curtain time for all evening performances.
