Based in Mendocino County, the Flynn Creek Circus has won awards around the globe for their acrobatic feats. In their new show, Desert Myth, Ukranian, Canadian, and American acrobats act out an original story, evolved from multicultural folklore, about searching for water in a parched land. The performances will be held July 1–9 at Friendship Park in Mendocino and July 21–23 at the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa. Shows are at a variety of afternoon and evening times. Admission is $18–$185. On July 6 and 21, tables will be $15 off. For details and to purchase tickets, go to flynncreekcircus.com.
