Cavalcade of Youth September 28
Posted September 6, 2008
Note: Kids love watching kids perform, so this show is great family fare, but the acts are often so good that grown-ups enjoy it too. It's produced by
Carmine regulars Keith Nelson, Stephanie Monseu, and Viveca Gardiner,
so your friends are there to hang out with after the show. It's fun to watch, and you support young talent. What more could you ask for?
The Zipper Factory Theater presents
a Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc. and Playful Productions production
The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus
Cavalcade of Youth
The Performers of Tomorrow Steal the Stage Today!
Bindlestiff Family Cirkus presents a special showcase for young
variety performers, ranging from amateurs to world-class
professionals. Juvenile jugglers, diminutive dancers, adolescent
acrobats and a host of other moppets and mummers present a full show
of vernal vaudeville. Acts range from debuting amateurs to world-class
champion performers—all under the age of 21.
Now in its fifth year, Bindlestiff's Cavalcade continues to feature an
amazing array of young talent. These are the future stars of Cirque du
Soleil, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and television.
Where else can you see juvenile unicyclists, tap dancers, magicians,
clowns, and contortionists sharing the stage with Broadway-bound
singers and classically trained musicians?
Since its inception in January 2004, Bindlestiff's Cavalcade of Youth
(COY) program has grown markedly. In September 2006, a few of the COY
participants were featured performers in the Speigeltent at the South
Street Seaport. In the past year COY has had programs at Abrons Arts
Center, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, and COY instructors are offering
circus skills in after school programs throughout the city. This past
summer, COY participated in the American Circus Youth Festival in
Illinois. The 2008 Cavalcade of Youth performance season is hosted by
the Zipper Factory.
