Types of Shows:

Science Night: For this type of show the circus does demos for small groups of people in a school open house environment.

Assembly Show: In this type of show the circus performs a loosely scripted demonstration show to a class of elementary or middle school students (or classes) in a school assembly environment.

Circus Training Meetings: At circus training meetings participants in upcoming shows refresh their knowledge of the demonstrations (or are trained on a demo for the first time), demonstration scripts are revised based on recent experience, and experienced volunteers pass on  the skills needed to teach children.
