Pre-Recorded Virtual Performance
The Great DuBois: Masters of Variety showcases incredible feats of juggling, hula hoops, unicycle, aerial, circus stunts, contortion and magic, all wrapped up in a blanket of comedy.
Tonight's performance promises to be the most unique 2-person circus show you will ever see!
Recently featured in Hugh Jackman’s hit movie, “The Greatest Showman," The Great DuBois have amassed an impressive list of credits, including the Tony Award winning “Pippin” on Broadway, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," “Late Night with David Letterman," Britney Spears World Circus Tour, and the movie “Burlesque,” to highlight just a few.
The award-winning combination of Michael DuBois and Viktoria Grimmy have five generations of circus performing between them, a spectacular theatrical set for proscenium stages, and have performed countless shows at theatres, universities, cruise ships, fairs and festivals all over the world.
Welcome to the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts!
