If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, there's still time to join the circus. The cirque-style show, iL CiRCo, still has some tickets left for tonight's performances, and for the shows on Saturday and Sunday.
With jugglers, balancing acts, trapeze artists and elements of modern dance, the talent will certainly amaze you, and it's fascinating to see them utilize every square inch of the Anthology stage. (I'm sure they're used to more room to move, but it actually adds to the suspense when an acrobat is high above the stage with little margin for error.) Most of the stunts (as far as I could tell) are achieved with very few safety measures like harnesses or wires.
The costumes are brilliant, the actors engaging, the music is dreamlike and the entire effect is very memorable, for adults and kids alike. This is the same group that created the Cirque de la Mer at Sea World, so the performances are polished and world-class. Over the last several years, they've taken the show on the road and toured extensively.
Anthology has added a few menu items to add to the ambiance. Popcorn was popping, and kids were enjoying pigs-in-a-blanket, churros and frozen chocolate bananas. The adults were indulging in baked dates, black mussels and cotton candy martinis.
So if you're looking for some last-minute ideas for the weekend, they still had tickets available for all shows as of this afternoon (including tonight, with 7:30 and 9:30 shows). There are two shows Saturday and a Sunday matinee. Call the box office for reservations at 619.595.0300, or go online at www.anthologysd.com.
Tickets start at $20 for upper level general admission and the bar/lounge area is $39.
