Cirkids come te town

NORTH VANCOUVER'S Kester
Svendsen will be among 35 kids
taking to a tightrope, riding unicy-
cles and swinging on the trapeze
when the Cirkids come to town.

The Great Canadian Cirkids —
the circus of children — will be
coming to the Centennial Theatre
in North Vancouver Nov. 20, 21
and 22 for shows co-sponsored by
the North Shore News, the North
Shore Credit Union and radio sta-
tion CHQM.

Formed three years ago follow-
ing a kids’ circus performance at
the Vancouver Children’s festival,
the group features 35 kids from the

ages of five to 17.

“There will be juggling, unicycl-
ing, contortionism and lots of
other stuff,’ explained general
manager and producer Jacqua
Pratt. ‘‘Comedy bits, too."’

About 50 kids are involved in
The Great Canadian Cirkids, but
only 35 or so perform in each
show. West Vancouver's Amanada
Broadribb recently joined the
group, but just staried training
with them and has not performed
on stage yet.

For further show details or tick-
et information, call 987-PLAY or
733-4150.
