Description:

Each year since 1987, the award-winning Circus Smirkus Big Top Tour showcases 30 young performers in a traditional traveling circus. These young performers hail from across the U.S. and the world. From June through August, these troupers bring the circus arts all around New England as they perform to sell-out crowds under the unique big top tent.

Anyone between the ages of 10 and 18, training in circus or other physical disciplines, having excellent stage presence and strong teamwork skills are encouraged to apply. The directors and coaches are seeking performers who have the potential to become exemplary Smirkos — candidates who can demonstrate fluency and dedicated practice in their chosen discipline(s), a strong work ethic, a positive and generous spirit, and a passion for circus. Video auditions are required.


Circus Smirkus celebrates all types of people, cultures, and skills to showcase the multifaceted triumph of human abilities. Joining Circus Smirkus – as a participant, an employee, a volunteer, or an audience member – means you belong.

There are two rounds to the audition process for the 2024 Big Top Tour:

The initial application with video is required. The application includes a google form, video, and two letters of recommendation. These are due on Nov. 1 at 11:59 p.m., and applications can be found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdh-eWgaZZFWGbz1IJPREWJrfovPSSiEP5Y-fcZaizRcTSeSA/viewform.

In the live audition, applicants from round 1 who are selected for round 2 will receive an invitation to the in-person audition to be held in January 2024. Invitations to the live audition with all the details will be sent the week of Nov. 20. Alternate arrangements can be made for auditionees who cannot make it to Vermont.
