“The Dummy’s AtTiC”, an interactive musical with Cirque which grabs you rapidly into the attic of an abandoned old theatre with a ventriloquist dummy, who only comes to life every Hallows eve as he summons his performers from the year 1897. Once gathered in the attic, they reenact their Vaudeville performances from years ago, with a twist. But what happens when a young teenager, who is ALIVE, stumbles upon the abandoned theater, with his own ventriloquist dummy?
The production, an out of the box concept with astonishing visuals, interactive, is a family entertainment spectacular with playful spirits and a no-gore approach to Halloween with messages about community, acceptance, and love with heart-stopping unimaginable feats. Featured will be world champions Sports Acro, Team USA martial artists, National champions, teen ventriloquist (Broadway’s Shane Selloria), contortionist bent in half in 19” glass box, LED optical illusion aerial apparatus, twins in unexplained aerial acts, a girl spinning with her back on her head and held up only by her mouth, a BLINDFOLDED foot archer, voice-overs by “The Lake” star Declan Whaley.
Le PeTiT CiRqUe is a humanitarian-based company, having helped raise $6.3 million to aid others. This production is being presented to support Wagmor Pets, a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue founded by entrepreneur, dog rescuer and Celebrity pet matchmaker Melissa Bacelar. Wagmor is committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for dogs in need. Their motto is simple: “If we can, we will.” Regardless of the animal’s condition, without regard to age, breed, gender, or ease of placement, Wagmor Pets is devoted to helping solve the issue of homelessness, by placing these dogs in safe, healthy and permanent loving homes.

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
