More about Cirque Dreams...

Produced by Cirque Productions and Artistic Director Neil Goldberg, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy is a action-packed two-hour adventure presented in two acts that stretches the imagination beyond the realm of possibilities and brings seemingly impossible feats to theatre and the stage. Accompanied by an original score and unique musicians, an international cast of aerialists, spine bending contortionists and vine-swinging characters make this jungle fantasy a dream to remember.

Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy remains true to my original Cirque Dreams vision which began in 1993 -  to present world-class variety entertainment blended with European circus artistry and Broadway Theatrics," says Goldberg.

This is the latest reinvention of theatrical circus artistry from Cirque Productions, creators of international performance and touring sensations Cirque Ingenieux, Cirque Dreams Coobrila and Cirque Dreams Illumination.

“This tour is on Broadway seasons across the nation because it features the production values and strong talent you expect from a big Broadway show—amazing costume and scenic design, special lighting effects, and a strong musical score,” said Kathleen O’Brien, TPAC’s president and chief executive officer.

Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy is set in an enchanted forest that quickly turns into a Technicolor dream on stage and in the air by presenting some of the most striking visual and special effects right before your very eyes.

WhistlePig + Alfa Romeo F1

SHOREHAM, VT (September 13, 2023) — WhistlePig Whiskey, the leaders in independent craft whiskey, and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake are waving the checkered flag on a legend-worthy release that’s taking whiskey to G-Force levels. The Limited Edition PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is a high Rye Whiskey selected by the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake drivers, with barrels trialed in their wind tunnel to ensure a thrilling taste in every sip.

The third iteration in WhistlePig’s Single Barrel PiggyBack Legends Series, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake Barrel is bottled at 96.77 proof, a nod to Valtteri Bottas’ racing number, 77, and the precision of racing. Inspired by Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese F1 driver, this Rye Whiskey is finished with lychee and oolong tea. Herbal and floral notes of the oolong tea complement the herbaceous notes of WhistlePig’s signature PiggyBack 100% Rye, rounded out with a juicy tropical fruit finish and a touch of spice.

Nurse Practitioner Ari Kravitz

When I started medical transition at 20 years old, it was very difficult to get the care I needed for hormone replacement therapy because there are very few providers trained in starting hormones for trans people, even though it’s very similar to the hormones that we prescribe to women in menopause or cisgender men with low testosterone.

I hope more providers get trained in LGBTQ+ healthcare, so they can support patients along their individual gender journey, and provide the info needed to make informed decisions about their body. I’ve personally seen my trans patients find hope and experience a better quality of life through hormone replacement therapy.
