MARIONETAS DE LA ESQUINA PRESENTS “THE CIRCUS” AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY ON MAY 4

“The Circus,” featuring all the music, fun, and surprises of a circus, will be staged on Sunday, May 4 at William Paterson University in Wayne.

Presented by Marionetas de la Esquina, the performance will be held at 2 p.m. in Shea Center for Performing Arts on campus. Tickets are $9. Come early for fun pre-show activities included with the admission beginning at 1:15 p.m. The show is appropriate for children ages 3 years and older.

Thirteen marionettes and an actor recreate the thrills experienced when the tent goes up and the circus opens its doors. Children will enjoy all of the surprises of the circus as this performance takes them on an unforgettable journey.

Marionetas de la Esquina, a puppet theater company from Mexico, has been entertaining children and adults alike since 1975. They have given more than 11,000 performances and 50 workshops and seminars. Since their creation, the company has helped disseminate and develop the art of puppetry in Mexico.

The event is part of William Paterson’s Shea Center Presents Vistas Series, designed to serve the University’s students and faculty, as well as the surrounding multicultural community. Funding for the Vistas Series at William Paterson University has been made possible, in part, by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State.
