Presents
LUMINOCITY
Electrifying Entertainment for All!
Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta

It’s the vivacity!
It’s the velocity! It’s the LUMINOCITY — the All–New Show from
the Big Apple Circus! Now in its 36th Season, the Big Apple Circus celebrates
the vitality of life at the city epicenter, the Crossroads of the World! Catch
all the verve, the high-spirits and racing-pulse thrills of the World’s Greatest
Circus Artists in one ring under our intimate Big Top, where no seat is more than 50
feet from ringside! The Big Apple Circus presents LUMINOCITY in its Atlanta
Premiere at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park in
Alpharetta from Thursday, January 30 through Monday February 17, 2014.
Venture within the
hubbub at the heart of Gotham, where the restless tide of humanity rushes
through canyons of skyscrapers and shoals of billboards: The dog-walker, whose
rowdy pups perform amazing tricks! Businesswomen who arrange to meet, soaring
high above on a double trapeze! The rube, a clown-prince among peers,
celebrating the mirth of life! Revelry at New Year’s Eve, with teeter-board
acrobats flying like fireworks! and a chic couple of wire-walkers suspended
mid-air for the event! The humble repairman, climbing the ladder of his
imagination! The mounted policewoman, directing a cavalcade of steeds! The
flimflam man with his quicksilver moves! The food cart vendor, juggling his
produce! Construction workers assembling athletic poses of incredible strength!
The celebrated Big Apple Circus Band, under the baton of maestro Rob Slowik,
provides the lively musical soundtrack, and your cosmopolitan Ringmaster, John
Kennedy Kane, will conduct your tour through this luminous cityscape. Run away
and join the Big Apple Circus this season for a dazzling, unforgettable
spectacle of wonder, merriment and joy!
