Acts range from debuting amateurs to world-class champion performers—all under the age of 21.

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? Order your tickets early, recent performances have been sold-out sensations.
