Personality Test! Where do you like to sit?

A - Right on the Star Aisle. You want that high five from the artist!
B - Front Row. The closer the better!
C - Middle of the section. It has the best view!
D - Back row so you can dance like crazy and get a little breeze too.

Dear Friends,

Thank you to all who joined us for an unforgettable season of live music and comedy at the South Shore Music Circus and Cape Cod Melody Tent.

This year was remarkably special for our communities. Together, we brought in many new artists and hosted more shows than ever before.

We also celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Music Circus. To mark this incredible journey, we transformed both venues with stunning new murals created through a unique collaboration between local high school students and professional artists.

Your presence at our shows does so much more than keep the music playing. As a patron, your support, and the legacy of the generations of patrons before you, has allowed us to thrive for almost a century. Most importantly, your ticket purchase is a powerful way of giving back. Every seat filled directly helps fund our ongoing charitable grants that provide vital support to arts programs that make our local communities more vibrant.

Thank you for being part of our history, our present, and our future. We cannot wait to welcome you back under the tents for many more seasons to come.

With sincere gratitude,
The Music Circus and Melody Tent Team
