Stand Up 8

Stand Up Eight breaks the rules of conventional theatre and modern circus with their groundbreaking use of script, story, and skill. With extraordinary ability and edge-of-your-seat stunts, the cast of world-class athletes shares not only their tricks but also their trials—the funny, poignant, terrifying and triumphant journeys that brought them to the stage. Their unique background of festival and street routines, American elite gymnastics and Cirque du Soleil style are reflected in their diverse program. Stand Up Eight’s focus on the man behind the curtain leaves audiences feeling they’ve gotten in on a secret.
