Circus Soiree

A-WOL Dance Collective is hosting the Circus Soiree at their warehouse in Northeast Portland, with two performances: Friday, October 16, at 7 PM and Saturday, October 17, at 9 PM. It's a family-friendly evening, and A-WOL bills it as more than just a show—they describe it as an immersive experience where artists and audience members come together to celebrate the power of performance and community connection.

The night is built around a wide-open stage that welcomes all kinds of acts. You'll see cirque performers and magicians alongside singers, comedians, musicians, and an M.C. to tie it all together. It's a showcase for artists—both professional and aspiring—to share their work, so the lineup pulls from a few different disciplines rather than sticking to one. Because it's family-friendly, it's the kind of thing you can bring kids to without worrying about the content.

There's a practical side to the ticketing, too: every ticket purchase goes directly toward the growth and success of the local performing artists featured in the show. So when you buy a seat, you're contributing to the people you're coming to see.

Both shows are at the A-WOL Dance Collective warehouse, 513 Northeast Schuyler Street, Portland, OR 97212. The first is Friday, October 16, at 7 PM, and the second is Saturday, October 17, at 9 PM.
