SASS: SANCAs Annual Showcase Spectacular
One weekend only: April 6th-8th.
Every year SANCA presents a showcase of unique circus performances featuring students, alumni, staff, and friends. SANCAs Annual Showcase Spectacular (known as SASS) is the accumulation of the culmination of all the hard work it takes to create new acts. Our students and staff have workshopped these new performances and are ready to take to the stage in displays of pure awesomeness!
Among the featured performers are Seattle favorites, SANCAs youth circus troupes: Cirrus Circus, the Magnificent 7, and the Amazing Circus 1-ders. Audiences will be treated to daring displays of acrobatics, high-flying aerials, juggling, and much more!
Performances are at The Broadway Performance Hall, 1625 Broadway
Friday Night April 6th, 7pm
Emcee: David Taft
David has been a physical theater artist for over forty years, performing in mask, movement, Commedia dell'Arte, dance and puppetry with a number of ensemble companies, has extensive touring credits on the East Coast and Midwest and has worked Off-Broadway for five seasons.

Emcee: Mary Machala - Actor, Director, Improvisationalist and occasional Unicycler
Mary has acted and directed in Seattle for the past 30 years but who's counting? She is a founding member of Book-It Repertory Theatre, Artistic Director of the socio/political improv group Off the Wall Players (this was a long time ago), and touring member of Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop out of Minneapolis, MN (a really long time ago). She's also a Master Gardener, Master Composter, Apprentice Beekeeper and fledgling Master Pruner.
