For a night, guests at the Nordrsaga Gala joined the circus — Circus Juventas, that is. The gala was inspired by the circus arts school's summer show, Nordrsaga. Student performers re-created scenes based on the Norse mythology of Thor, Loki, dwarfs and giants. Intermission featured Circus Juventas alum PD Weisman as sidekick to Bello Nock, who entertained with his breathtaking brand of comedy as the "America's favorite Comic Daredevil." Funds raised from the gala will support big-top programming experiences and youth scholarships at Circus Juventas.
