After 40 Years Poster

'The Love show' is a circus and vaudeville show with a little burlesque thrown in -- though it is still a family friendly show!  It is an aerial, acrobatic, & juggling comedy performance -- a silly exploration of serious relationships with performers formerly with Cirque Du Soleil, Ringling Bros., The Pickle Family Circus, & two International Juggling Association champions.  The show thrills with high flying aerialists flirting, hysterical interludes of love gone awry, phenomenal jugglers on a flailing date, as well as a wife who stands on her husband's head and other demonstrations of the vagaries and delights of love in all its shapes and forms.
