The Imperial OPA’s Circus Sundays

Circus Sunday 2013 - The First one 2014 2015 Circus Sunday's Ahhh, Circus Sundays. Since our first circus Sunday on July 22, 2013, each summer we have dedicated a handful of Sunday afternoons to connect with our community, share fun memories with our fans, and friends and you. But what is Circus Sunday's? Circus Sundays is a free event. It's an afternoon out in a park somewhere sharing time with people who love circus. We may set up our portable aerial rig, have a few mats laying around, have a few circus performers tumbling and circus-ing around, and for sure that we will have lots of smiles on! This is not a show or performance, but a group of performers who like to go outside, who like to engage our community, and who like to share what they know about circus. We may just be laying in the grass looking at the clouds, we may be building human pyramids to touch the leaves, perhaps we working on passing juggling, tumbling, demoing an act or just giving high fives... whatever the case you are our friends, you're invited to join us if you wish. What to bring: A blanket and some food, Any sort of circus performance gear, Feel free to dress up in a costume if you wish, If your photographer, sketch artist, or poet - bring your media of choice, Be sure to bring a big smile and positive energy! Again this is a free event to come to, we will however have a tip bucket out to accept donations. We should stress, this is not a performance. We aren't selling tickets, If you want to hang out [...]

Best new Circus acts of 2016

Best new Circus acts of 2016! One of the reasons the Imperial OPA Circus is the leading entertainment provider in Georgia is that were always striving for new and better, more extraordinary, and more stupendous performances and acts to keep you entertained. Below you will find a few of our new highlighted acts for this year. Will update this page from time to time with new and wondrous performances and acts that you will want to book for your next engagement! Extraordinary Whip Cracking! If you're looking for a act that  will capture the attention of your guests and leave them speechless, let us introduce our dual cracker. He has been performing with double whips since before he could crawl and is crowd favorite by far. This act can be performed with two whips in an ambient fashion, or performed on stage as part of routine with a lovely assistant (*whom gets roses whipped from her delicate lips), or can be performed with dual fire whips releasing plumes of fiery explosions into the sky! We are proud to say we are the only company in the southeast offering such an performance. Contact us today to book this truly remarkable act.   The Cyr Wheel! We started working with this very accomplished performer last year, one of the acts he brings the table besides being part of our award-winning hand-to-hand balance team, is the Cyr Wheel. The best way to describe this act is they take a quarter stand up on end on your desk, then flick it and watch it spin! Now imagine that 6 feet tall and whirling around on stage in front of you. It is intense and amazing!! [...]
