Ringling Bros. Brings DRAGONS to Providence
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
The circus is coming to town! Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® has announed that DRAGONS, "a once in a millennium event that honors The Year of the Dragon," will be the theme of this year's circus visit to Providence in May.
Promising three rings' worth of "astounding acts of bravery and astonishing athleticism," that combines mystic dragon lore and authentic circus feats, DRAGONS will be presided over by Ringling Bros.® Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson. DRAGONS is coming May 4-7 to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence. Tickets are on sale now.
Featured circus performers
DRAGONS will feature Shaolin Kung Fu Warriors, charging Cossack riders, magnificent Asian elephants, fierce tigers, as well as the frenzied Globe of Steel. As the audience observes these and even more real world displays that pay tribute to the dragon, their continued excitement will bring glimpses of the elusive beast. But, the big question remains; what will it take to lure a true dragon from its golden lair?
