What is Payomet Cirque by the Sea like?
Payomet Cirque by the Sea is the circus program of the nonprofit Payomet Performing Arts Center, and its year-round home base is a red-and-white Big Top tent at the WHAT Theater campus on Route 6 in Wellfleet. Each summer the professional troupe writes and stages an original show from scratch, with acrobats, aerialists and jugglers telling stories built around themes like ocean health, climate change and backyard pollinators. Kids can try it themselves at weekly summer Circus Camp, which wraps each session with a showcase for family. Classes continue into the fall for everyone from 3- and 4-year-olds to adult aerialists. Their graffiti-painted Cirque by the Sea bus is hard to miss. Stop by the Payomet Box Office in the plaza at 2616 Route 6 (beside PJ's) for tickets and questions; the shows and classes happen under the Big Top at 2357 Route 6.
