Step right up!

Today, between 11 am and 1 pm (West Coast time) kids of all ages will be treated to a free performance of Circus Minumus, San Diego’s smallest traveling circus, in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2 at San Diego International Airport. Scheduled to appear: Dori Smith’s Pig’s Eye Puppet Theater, featuring a strongman, a unicycle rider, gymnasts and a flying trapeze artist.

The live puppet show complements the San Diego Guild of Puppetry exhibit currently in Terminal 2 East (post-security). On display: traditional Sicilian marionettes, Wayang shadow puppets from Indonesia, dolls made by local artists, and giant puppets made by children. The exhibit runs through early January 2009.
