Boston Globe 7/16/09: Local youths flying high with Circus Smirkus. Yes, you really can run off and join the circus – at least if you spend years training for it and can master the likes of the trapeze. That’s how four area youths, including Wayland High junior Jamie Nanni, earned spots this summer with Circus Smirkus, an international, nonprofit, traveling youth circus that performs six shows this weekend, starting tomorrow, at Elm Bank in Wellesley.
