FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Interactive Family Circus Comes to Town

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC—On May 21 and 22, the Inner Ring Circus will remount its popular show, Bounce at the Massey Theatre. This interactive family circus explores unpredictable fun using all things bouncy and stretchy.

The show is designed to engage families in the colourful and creative world of circus arts. While words can’t describe the experience of Bounce, imagine watching a show where the stage is a trampoline, audiences interact with bouncy balls, and aerial acrobats fly through the air on bungee chords; this is what audiences can expect to see.

The cast of Bounce features seven Vancouver-based circus professionals, Ryan Mellors, Nigel Wakita, Brandon Miyazaki, Jake West, Chris Murdoch, Cam Fraser, and Jesse Pierce.

Bounce was creatively directed by Cirque du Soleil veteran, Sandra Botnen. Ms. Botnen’s work was seen locally in the Avatar Circus Project, a sponsored project of the Cultural Olympiad.

Bounce was originally put on as a fundraising production, for the Boys and Girls Club of Whitehorse, where sell out performances thrilled over 1600 audience members. The Whitehorse Star wrote, “This positive and healthy environment demonstrated that Inner Ring performed as advertised, inspiring Whitehorse youth, and showcasing entertainers living their dreams…”

When Bounce comes to New west, a portion of every ticket sold will go to the Variety Club of BC.

Show times are: Friday 7pm and Saturday 8pm. Regular Admission is 29$ with special rates for students and seniors.

Tickets are available through the Massey Theatre’s online and on-site ticket center.
