Join Brass Butterflies as we showcase our studio community in a two act show featuring self choreographed acts by our talented students and staff in the first half of the show, followed by this year's Senior Performance Ensemble Production, AQUARION, in the second half of the show.

AQUARION is a multi-disciplinary production that tells an underwater tale through aerial arts, acrobatics, music, and other circus disciplines. Featuring a cast made up of Brass Butterflies students, instructors, and some special guests from the community, as well as in-house writing, choreography, direction, costume making, and set design, our aim is to create a truly grassroots theatrical circus experience. This production was conceived, written, choreographed and directed by Emily Wright.
