Omnium Circus to Debut in Canada at Canadian National Exhibition

Omnium Circus, which bills itself as America's most comprehensively accessible circus, is set to make its Canadian debut at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto from August 30 to September 7. The circus will present its award-winning show, "I'm Possible," as part of Canada's largest annual community event.

The performances are designed to be accessible to all audiences, featuring bilingual presentations in English and American Sign Language (ASL). Each show will include live audio description, tactile experiences, captions, and relaxed seating for neurodiverse and sensory-sensitive individuals. The circus has been described as "genuinely extraordinary" by The New York Times.

Leading the show will be Malik Paris, performing artistic ASL as the first Deaf ringmaster, with Johnathan Lee Iverson providing the voice. The CNE production is co-produced by Dan Lyon and Dandelion Entertainment. Tickets for the performances are included with CNE admission.

"We are incredibly honored to be part of the historic Canadian National Exhibition and showcase our tremendously talented performers to Canadian audiences for the very first time," said Omnium's Founder and Executive Director Lisa B. Lewis. The non-profit circus aims to provide joyful, thrilling, and connecting entertainment for everyone.
