Circus Center

You are approaching a place that serves as a cornerstone of the American circus revival. Circus Center began its life in 1974 as the Pickle Family Circus, a pioneering troupe that helped transform circus arts from a fading tradition into a vibrant, modern performance movement. While many performers once relied on family legacies to learn their craft, this organization established a formal home where these skills could be taught, studied, and refined in a structured environment.
