Directions

Special Guests: Jumbo Shrimp Circus
Performing
11 am to 1 pm

The Jumbo Shrimp Circus is the premiere family variety show in Southern California. Stars Moxie and Epoxie have been seen nationally on television on General Hospital, VH1, Beakman’s World, Mini Cooper National Commercial Campaigns, Sealy Mattress National Commercial Campaign, Chicago Hope, and many other films and television shows. Locally, they have appeared at the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival, Burbank Libraries, The Beverly Hills Library, The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum and even on stage in Shakespeare (The Tempest at Barnsdall Art Park with the Independent Shakespeare Company in Hollywood). Also, they have graced the red carpet at the premieres for all of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, “Cars”, “Ratatouille”, “WallE” and will be seen this fall at the El Capitan and on the Disney Studio Lot in support of “A Christmas Carol” with Jim Carey and “Princess and the Frog”

The key performers Heide and Philip have trained with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and taught with Cirque du Monde, the at-risk youth outreach program of Cirque du Soleil.

URGENT PLEA TO OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS:

The Gibbon Conservation Center needs to begin collecting funds now to purchase property in order to relocate. Encroaching local development will soon become a very real threat to the health and well-being of our gibbons. Stress from the sight and noise of construction, and microorganisms in the dust stirred up in earth moving, pose unacceptable and lethal dangers. . . . more


Pre-Paid Donation
:

Please join us!  You can pay ahead through PayPal, which helps us plan, by Oct. 17 at 5 pm and save $5. 

Sorry, pre-paid is now closed.


 

For Your Safety
Enjoy viewing the gibbons, but

PLEASE DO NOT LEAN OVER THE GUARDRAILS TO INTERACT WITH THE GIBBONS
!
Please be careful with your children—supervision is required.  Volunteers will be nearby to remind you to stay behind the guardrails and to answer questions.  Remember, the gibbons are wild animals!
