Circus Time! is a tuneful and hilarious story about an irresponsible boy who would rather play with his circus toys than do as his mother says and clean his room.

One day, his circus toys come alive and he becomes the circus master. This new role gives him the chance to become responsible by solving problems like those of a high-wire artist who's afraid of heights, a dancing circus elephant who can't remember steps, clowns who forget how to make people laugh, and a magician who has many tricks up his sleeve.

This upbeat, fun-filled, colorful and highly theatrical musical gives actors of all ages a chance to join the circus and will give audiences a chance to go behind the scenes of the zaniest show on earth!
