Last Friday, August 12, Circus Smirkus put on one of their final performances of the 2016 Tour in their home town of Greensboro, Vermont. Despite a little drizzle, it was a beautiful night in the North East Kingdom and some members of the VDW team were lucky enough to be invited to the show. 
This season's theme "Up, HUP, and Away!" was all about the invention of flight, and as you can imagine, there was lots of high flying excitement. Having been their official design partner for the 2016 Tour, it was wonderful to see the whole thing come together. We were blown away by the talent these kids displayed. The hard work they and the entire staff put in was abundantly clear. Comedy, athleticism, music, dancing, choreography, costumes, props, and a whole lot of raw talent combined to put on a kaleidoscope of entertainment. If you missed it this year, we highly recommend checking it out next year. Vermont Design Works proudly partnered with Circus Smirkus to design the season theme artwork and all the marketing materials for the 2016 Tour including playbills, brochures, and more. The poster concept was created by the VDW art department and hand painted by our artist in residence, Marc Nadel. Congratulations Circus Smirkus to another successful tour!
