Social Story

Welcome to Omnium. We are delighted you are here. The virtual experience is unique and wonderful.

The preshow performers are our “Fan Favorites”. We honor their efforts by sharing them with you prior to the main show. These are people just like you who love Omnium Circus and have practiced their skills. Maybe you will get inspired to send us a clip of your artistry?

Here are the performers you will see in the show. All of the performers recorded their acts for Omnium from their space of quarantine during the pandemic. Read about these wonderful performers at this link: https://omniumcircus.org/about/
