Spooktacular, a family friendly cirque performance, is a high-flying circus of hilarity and scare scheduled to perform at the Alan Jay Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts on the Highlands Campus of South Florida State College (SFSC) on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 3 p.m.
Lobby activities for young people include free popcorn and apple juice, games, a photo booth, and giveaways. A costume contest for youth will be also be held. All youth wearing a costume will receive a raffle ticket. Costumed youth will be invited on stage at the end of the show. The winner will be selected by a raffle drawing and the winner receives $100.

Cirque-Tacular Productions, a New York City-based production company, is considered one of the premiere acrobatic companies in the world. “Millions of people in 70 countries have seen one of their cirque shows,” said Cindy Garren, SFSC director of Cultural Programs. “Cirque-tacular’s artists include world-record holders, grand champions, Olympians, circus legends, and veterans of Broadway and Las Vegas.”
Spooktacular features soaring vampires, skeletons, and ghosts in a performance of acrobatics and aerialists. The performance runs 60 minutes without an intermission. General admission tickets are $15.
