Join knucklehead & silly scientist Gregory May on a tour of the science behind his circus skills, like juggling, globe walking, lasso spinning & other tricks! Grades Pre-K to Teen

Bring your own blankets, lawn chairs, and camp chairs to the South Lawn of the Connie Morella Library (adjacent to Caroline Freedman Urban Park) and join professional knucklehead and silly scientist Gregory May for this OUTDOOR PROGRAM! As a former Ringling Brothers performer, science teacher, and Port Discovery educator, he uses juggling, rolling globe walking, plate spinning, and more to explore the circus world and the scientific principles that make it work: Newton’s Laws, Gyroscopic Motion, and Center of Gravity. Sponsored by FOLMC.

In case of rain or inclement weather, this performance will move INDOORS to the Meeting Room where space will be limited and tickets will be required. Tickets will be distributed at the Information Desk beginning at 1:30pm.
