The clowns, animals and contortionists who perform in the Shrine Circus are in town
They are ready for 10 more shows after their Wednesday debut of the 2012 season at the Lansing Center.
Several new acts are planned for this year's performances, including a chimpanzee and monkey act that will accompany the elephants and felines typically at the circus, along with a new clown skit and a "breathtaking" motocross grand finale, said Nick Singeles, chief of staff for the Elf Khurafeh Shriners, who present the circus.
About 22,000 people attended last year's circus, Singeles said.
The Lansing Center's circus capacity is about 3,200 for each of the shows.
Tickets are $12 for children age 12 and under and $14 for adults. Go to www.lansingcircustickets.com or stop by the Lansing Center 333 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing.
Proceeds go to the Elf Khurafeh Shriners.
The circus will run through this weekend.
