When the Christmas tree star vanishes on the Kermess stage, an unlikely hero sets off through ribbon, boxes, and toys that have their own ideas about the holidays.
The Missing Star is a family circus adventure built for shared gasps and giggles: gift wrapping turned playground, presents that tumble like dominoes, and circus surprises around every corner of the century-old Spiegeltent.
Saturday shows at 2:00 PM (doors 1:30 PM) and Sunday shows at 4:00 PM (doors 3:30 PM), from Thanksgiving weekend through Sunday, January 10, 2027.
