Per Amore Di Un Circo ~ For the Love of A Circus At HFCS

By

We, the members of Hubbard Hall Inc.’s Conservatory, The 20/20 Visionaries, write our own play, our own music, create our own choreography, design and build our own sets, all on a budget of $0. All rehearsals and creativity takes place in the backyard of Hubbard Hall, right in Cambridge, and at the Hoosick Falls Central School.
A performance of “For the Love of A Circus” will be taking place in the auditorium of Hoosick Falls Central School on Sunday, August 5, at 2 pm, with no admission fee. All we ask is that you bring yourself, your friends and family and be prepared to enjoy a journey back to the Great Depression and be ready to experience the lives of those who are employed in a traveling circus.
