Ever feel like running away and joining the circus? 

 Find out what happened next for a woman who did something like that in LIZ’S CIRCUS STORY in a special performance May 15, at 7:30 pm, at TNW Ensemble Theater, 1957 Winnebago St.

An autobiographical, one-actor play, LIZ’S CIRCUS STORY by Liz Bussey Fentress, spans twenty-three years. At 21, having just graduated from UW-Madison, Liz takes a job as ring mistress, organist, and puppet show performer with the brand-new, one-ring, Franzen Bros. Circus. While portraying herself and an array of other circus characters and animals, Liz shares the trials and triumphs of the fledgling circus and her own efforts to pursue her dream of working in theatre.

Liz is an award-winning playwright with extensive experience as an actor, director, and teacher in professional, community, and educational theatre. Her plays have been produced across the U.S. and staged in London’s West End. Working in new play development in Kentucky, Liz coordinated the Kentucky Voices program at Horse Cave Theatre, and taught in the New Voices program at Actors Theatre of Louisville. Liz taught playwriting at the School of the Arts in Rhinelander for many years and later facilitated the Wisconsin Wrights playwriting workshops in Madison for UW-Extension. Born and raised in northern Wisconsin, Liz has returned to the north woods and now calls Bayfield home. 

Tickets are $20 and available through https://buytickets.at/tnwensembletheater/2190201
