A traditional folk tale that is so old there is a version in most European countries. Our version is set in Italy. The story involves a young boy who juggles. He joins a Commedia troupe. The Arlecchino sketch, (a song and dance), is performed by two marionettes. Giovanni steps out from behind the curtain before the Commedia show begins, now he is a real live juggler who performs a juggling show. Time allowing we return to the puppets. Giovanni now old meets his fate.

Opens with song and dance. Mr. Erwin is front man playing and singing well known sing-a-long songs. The show is based on the traditional folk song. Puppets perform the story. We employ several styles of puppets. Puppets and Jason interact with the audience. Closes with more singing and in the end everyone dances the hokey pokey.

This is an interactive circus. Children volunteers from the audience are the performers; a lion tamer tames a puppet lion, there is a strong man and simple gags, all performed by children. This is intermittent with interactive juggling tricks. The Ringmaster is a puppet.
