This summer, on July 2 and 3, the Hull Redevelopment Authority is bringing to Hull the Hideaway Circus, a family-friendly experience perfect for all ages.

Be prepared to be dazzled by their new outdoor show, Canvas Sky, featuring 10 world-class performers who will take your breath away with their gravity-defying feats, jaw-dropping acrobatics, and mesmerizing displays of skill and artistry.

Canvas Sky features a relatable tale exploring the themes of self-acceptance and uplifting one another. We follow the story of a circus troupe where the clown struggles to fit in and find his voice, until he gets a little help from a friend who has already figured out how to embrace what makes her wonderful and unique.

HRA Chair Dennis Zaia is serving as project manager, leading the effort to bring Hideaway Circus to Hull as part of a 35-week tour to more than 60 towns in 22 states.

“I was mesmerized by the Stars Above show at Weir River Farm last summer,” he said. “The event was exhilarating. It was exciting to see all of the kids acting out the performance during intermission. I thought, why not do this in Hull?”

The HRA has invested in this demonstration project as it ramps up efforts to activate its space.

For more information and tickets to the July 2 and 3 shows, scan the QR code. General admission (bring your own seat) is $30 and reserved premium seating is $65.
