4 Tickets to:
Zoppe Family Circus
Friday, January 10 7pm at Reid Park

The circus returns! The Zoppé family has been in the circus business since 1842, when a French street clown and a Hungarian equestrienne ballerina ran off to Venice where they married and started a dynasty now in its sixth generation. The intimate 500-seat tent honors the best of Old-World Italian tradition. Family patriarch Giovanni Zoppé as Nino the Clown takes the audience on a journey that features acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning and plenty of audience participation. "We try to touch every emotion," he says. "They'll laugh, they'll cry and they'll feel for the characters. We tell a story during our show - the story of our family." Joyful fun for the entire family.

Event Sponsors: Jerome & Elayne Feder and Kai Family Foundation/John & Jihong Kai

A Brief History of UApresents

UApresents is a department of the University of Arizona, and the campus host for international performing arts. UApresents, in its current incarnation, has served Southern Arizona for over 10 years. Previously, the organization was known as the Office of Cultural Affairs, and worked in a very similar capacity to its operations today.

Our goal is to bring the world’s finest performing arts, stemming from all genres, to Tucson and Southern Arizona. Our action to this cause is manifold. We offer school matinees for Tucson’s children, artist residencies for like-minded local artists as well as special educational opportunities for university students and the community-at-large.

From The Director

From all of us at UApresents, thank you for your support. The world-class artists and extraordinary performances that comprise this season stand fi rmly among the fi nest arts presenters in the nation and your generosity is crucial to maintain this high quality programming for our community. Ticket sales account for just over half of our cost to host these great performances and cuts to state funding support for education have deeply impacted UApresents. The support of individual and corporate sponsors, grants and donations are needed more than ever before to fund the balance. Please consider a gift in any amount to help us continue to host the artists and performances that will captivate your imagination, inspire you and enrich your life.
