Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus is transforming the Verizon Center into the big top, and will meld myth, magic and mystery with the presentation of Dragons!, the latest innovation from the 106-year-old company.
Dragons! will feature “tribes from the far reaches of the earth” brought together to compete in a “circus tournament of champions," according to the Ringling website. "Each tribe must prove that they have virtues of Courage, Strength, Wisdom and Heart to arouse dragons which appear right before your very eyes!"
The show promises to have something for circus fans of all ages, with clowns, performing dogs and cats, acrobats, high-wire performers, Shaolin demonstrations, kung-fu presentations, lions, tigers and much more
