Last year’s Neighborhood Tour was a milestone for two longtime Fern Street Circus performers, Andrea and Toby, as they took the spotlight with their first solo show.
Andrea began her circus journey in first grade, while Toby joined during the pandemic in middle school. Both have grown in skill, confidence, and leadership, with a shared passion for tightwire performance.
For the first time, they created and performed a duo act entirely on their own—a true reflection of their dedication, creativity, and years of hard work. Their performance embodies the impact Fern Street Circus strives for: fostering artistic growth, community connection, and personal development from childhood into young adulthood.
Today, Toby continues his high school studies while Andrea prepares to train as a medical assistant. We are so proud of their accomplishments and can’t wait to see what’s next on their journeys.

Welcoming Families Back to Fern Street Circus As the 2025–2026 school year begins, Fern Street Circus remains committed to building strong connections with families. We believe engaged parents help children thrive—and together, we grow a stronger community. This year, we continue offering parent workshops, activities in the Family Services Parent Room, and time in our outdoor garden—creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for reflection, learning, and connection. While summer brings a natural pause, we’re excited to reconnect and expand access so even more families can experience the creativity and joy of the circus. Here’s to a new year of growth, together.
