(WAYNE, NJ) -- Omnium Circus will bring its jaw-droppingly, awe-inspiringly uplifting show, "I'm Possible," to the Shea Performing Arts Center in Wayne on Sunday, October 20, 2024 at 3:00pm as part of their 2024 Fall Tour. "I'm Possible" tells the story of Johnny, a young boy who dreams of joining the circus.

Audiences follow Johnny’s inspirational journey as he enters a world featuring beautiful aerial artistry, daring hand balancing, the world’s fastest female juggler, a Guinness World Record holding crossbow act, free standing ladder, contortion, comedy and even a performer who hangs by her hair. It’s a show for all ages that is not to be missed!

Omnium Circus, which The New York Times calls, “genuinely extraordinary,” is the only circus in the world to be presented bilingually in English and American Sign Language, Omnium not only brings together a world-class group of performers, but also incorporates unprecedented audience accessibility. Among the special accommodations provided are live audio description, tactile experiences, relaxed seating for neurodiverse and sensory sensitive audience members and more. This ensure that Omnium is a live experience that has been specifically created to be enjoyed by all.

“We are so excited to bring our show back to the Shea Center for the Performing Arts and we’re bringing new performers and new fun with us,“ said Founder and Executive Director Lisa B. Lewis. “There has never been a circus like Omnium and there has never been a time when we needed the circus more to unite our hearts and fill our spirits with joy.”
