  • Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows
    Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.

  • Circus Juventas
    Circus Juventas Fall Session Guide 2020 A nonprofit, 501(c)3 performing arts circus school for youth dedicated to inspiring artistry and self -confidence through a multicultural circus arts www.circusjuventas.org experience Welcome to fall session! Fall is an exciting time at Circus Juventas as we embark on a new year. In this current global situation, we are grateful to be able to welcome new and returning students back to the big top for in-person training. Our adapted summer session was a remarkable success, and we look forward to continuing the trend in fall. Please note that due to state mandates, we will be operating at a limited capacity for fall session. Luckily for CJ, the large, open nature of our facility and auxiliary spaces within the building provide plenty of room to meet these requirements while still being able to offer a wide range of classes and levels to our families. As we cannot anticipate how many of our families will feel comfortable attending fall session, we are offering a robust schedule at the time of registration. Based on registration numbers, we will then adjust class sizes and offerings to ensure that we are within our hourly capacity limitations and that our students and staff can maintain a safe 6 ft. distance during classes. What this means for our families is that we cannot give the usual level of assurance that students will be accepted into a requested class. The health and safety of our students, staff, and community is our top priority, and we are working diligently to adhere to all mandates and recommendations from Governor Walz, the Minnesota Department of Health, and the CDC.

  • 2018-19 Edition of Our New Family Handbook
    CIRCUS JUVENTAS Family Handbook 1270 Montreal Avenue » St Paul, Minnesota 55116 » 651-699-8229 circusjuventas.org » 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization 1 October 2018 Dear Circus Juventas Family Member: At Circus Juventas (CJ), our beliefs provide the backbone of how we operate. We believe in the magic of circus. We believe in a student’s ability to excel. We believe in the transformative power of performance. To sustain these beliefs, the following two pillars are crucial to all that we do: 1. Safety Safety is our most important tenet, and safety means more than feeling physically safe when doing a trick or using the equipment. It also means that our students feel safe and supported mentally, in everything that they do with us, so that they can succeed and do their best. Many of our core policies are related to safety, and as such, they are simply nonnegotiable. 2. Community To us, circus means choosing to be a part of and supporting each other in an intentional community. Diversity in age, skills, gender identity, nationality, race, background, and outlook only makes this community stronger. Though our policies about behavior and attitude (for students and students’ families) may at first glance seem to be less important to an individual student than safety is, they are critically important for the success of Circus Juventas as a whole. One of our goals at Circus Juventas is to communicate our values and policies through a multi-platform approach: we advertise them during the registration process, post them around the arena, and foster student initiatives to strengthen said policies and values.

  • 42Nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron
    Sept 9 – Oct 2 Sept 23 – Oct 16 (page 4) (page 10) 2016-2017 Welcome to the opening of our 42nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron, This year at Park Square Theatre is about “Getting Together.” Our 2016-2017 Season launches with a pair of comedies – each a little masterpiece in its own off-center realm. Consider this an invitation for us all to convene as community for some shared fun. America’s – and our world’s – current political/social environment, like theatre itself, thrives on conflict. While we might learn from a good fight, far too often we become obsessed or overwhelmed by what divides us. This theatre, and this season in particular, is devoted to discovering and celebrating what unites us – what pulls us together. To uncover what we can hold in common. Sometimes it’s a group laugh at a really dumb joke. Sometimes it’s a moment of unexpected empathy – the breath-stopping recognition that can expand our minds or swell our hearts. Thank you, truly, for coming together here – for this performance, in the same room as the gifted artists who can’t wait to share their delight in our common, if all-too- vulnerable, humanity. Let’s do it again soon! Yours, Richard Cook, Artistic Director C. Michael-jon Pease, Executive Director, CFRE 651.767.8482 | [email protected] 651.767.8497 | [email protected] OUR MISSION is to enrich our community by producing and presenting exceptional live theatre that touches the heart, engages the mind and delights the spirit. Live your dream. Or dreams, as the case may be.
