The Petite Palace

October 17–November 3

The Petite Palace is an intimate, eclectic tent show that will take audiences on an unparalleled journey, which combines the dazzling, daring aura of Cirque du Soleil with the madcap mirth of Saturday Night Live.

Don't forget your binoculars and bring your safety goggles. Your experience will put you in the middle of a raucous, amazing and hilarious sensory tour de force.

Set on the grounds of the picturesque Bath House Cultural Center at White Rock Lake, The Petite Palace provides an up-close personal experience for 150 circus-goers that is fun for the entire family.

Patrons will sit front and center for a mesmerizing performance and be immersed in laughter. It’s part circus, part variety show, part cabaret. It’s all fun and will create memories that last a lifetime.
