Children of all ages love the circus — especially the Barak Shrine Circus.  The 60th annual season program of the Barak Shrine Circus, presented by James Cristy Cole Circus, features legendary acts, unique human feats, talented animals and the sounds from the live band under the direction of Circus Maestro, John Malett. 

Crowd-pleasing royal Bengal tigers, featuring white tigers, are trained and presented by America's own, Brian Franzen. 

Unique acts include a Wild West Production featuring aerial ballet, hula hoop artistry, and aerial superstars "Wendy Bell" and "Susan Vidbel". Performing animals include elephants, horses, and prancing ponies.

Come see the 3 Ring Circus featuring High Wire Acts and lots of “Clowning Around” with everyone's favorite Barak Shrine Clowns!

Animal rides also will be available before each performance and at intermission.

When you buy a ticket to this fun family adventure, you are also helping local children and families. The circus is a fundraising event for the Barak Shrine which supports Shriner's Hospital children and other charities within 12 parishes. Shriners Hospital in Shreveport, one of the most recognizable in our community, provides orthopedic care at no cost to families.  All profits from the must-have treat, Cracker Jack, go to the transportation of children to Shriner's Hospitals.  Tickets are now on sale at the Monroe Civic Center box office and Ticketmaster.
