The Anacapa School Performing Arts Department PRESENTS

Carnival

This musical is based on the 1953 film "Lili" and tells the story of a young orphan who joins a run down traveling carnival- The Grand Imperial Cirque du Paris!. She becomes part of the puppet show featuring Carrot Top, Marguerite, Horrible Henry and Renardo, and the show is such a hit, the carnival attendance grows and the performers have hope that they can reclaim the glamour and prestige that the Cirque du Paris once experienced. With carnival acts including a magician, sword swallower, unicyclists, hoola-hooper, snake charmer, palm reader and more, this production is sure to please audiences members of all ages!
