Cirque Style Theatrical Production Company For Sale

Business description

This privately owned entertainment productions company was founded in 1980. A world toured non-animal circus with aerialists, contortionists, gymnasts, jugglers and clowns. Think of the Cirque du Soleil (this is not the Seller company) and you will have a good picture of what this business does. The productions combine theatrical wizardry and lavish costumes for sophisticated and spectacular effects. Approximately 100 shows are pre-sold and prepaid annually. It is worth noting that the this company tends to perform in smaller venues compared to Cirque Du Soleil.

Currently there are two productions which tour worldwide. The key personnel are two owners who run the business. More than 90% of all shows are sold out. The shows are meant for anyone aged 3 – 90. Shows are booked for fund raisers, for performing art venues, and corporate functions. The two major productions have toured throughout the USA, Europe and a few other countries. The critics have raved about the shows in major US newspapers and online. Most of the US shows are booked by an outside booking agent and every show is prepaid. The company has shows pre-booked through 2010.
