Rain Days:
Locations: We are negotiating for usage of indoor locations in case of inclement weather. We have confirmed that sometimes we will have access to 19 Walnut St in Somerville.
Communication:

  • Cancelations/moves to alternate locations typically occur within 30 minutes of the classes beginning for the day and sometimes occur during classes on account of weather and ground conditions.
  • Alerts will be sent out from our facebook group page (OPENAIR Circus) and from our twitter account (openaircircus) once we have determined that classes will be canceled or moved to an alternate location.
  • Call 617-947-1191 within 30 minutes of a class and if the decision has been made, the answering service message will state so.

Welcome to the summer session of 2009.

  • Classes start June 23rd.
  • Rehearsals will be July 28th, 29th, and 30th.
  • Performances will be July 31st, August 1st and 2nd.

New to the OAC? The OPENAIR Circus holds 9 1-hour class sessions per week (for an example of our schedule, please see last summer's). We accept registration forms through the first week of class, though the sooner you get them to us, of course, the better.
