Through the mystery of magic and the mastery of skill, audiences will be spellbound as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents ZING ZANG ZOOMSM, a thrill filled, mind-blowing circus spectacular where family fun is no illusion. Zingmaster Alex, a Bay Area native and local award-winning magician, has more than a few electrifying tricks up his sleeve to ward off an impish Mr. Gravity and his team of scallywags, “The Heavies.” Fun-filled magic merges with traditional circus arts to create a world of infinite possibilities where apprentice illusionists from the audience levitate their parents with a wave of a wand and human cannonballs are blasted through the air as the high flying circus is (literally) turned upside down. All this plus an incomparable array of exotic animals, including a herd of majestic Asian elephants, magnificent Bengal tigers and Arabian and Friesian horses, zebras, amazing dancing dogs and more make this 139th edition of the Greatest Show on Earth® one of the best of all time.

This fall, things get wild at the Contemporary Jewish Museum as it presents "There’s a Mystery There: Sendak on Sendak," a major retrospective of over 100 works by Maurice Sendak, the famed author and illustrator of over 100 picture books who changed the course of children’s literature forever with his 1963 classic Where the Wild Things Are. This is the largest and most ambitious exhibition of original watercolors and drawings from more than 40 of Sendak’s books, including his most beloved titles. It also features rare sketches, never-before-seen working materials, and exclusive interview footage with the artist. Organized by the world’s only repository of Sendak’s work, The Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia, the exhibition is a fascinating and revealing journey into the artist’s life and work for both children and adults. Families gain a deeper understanding of the characters and stories they love while adult audiences get an unprecedented opportunity to explore the more mature and sophisticated ideas behind many of Sendak’s beloved tales, discovering how they were shaped by intensely personal stories and influences – his Jewish family life, childhood adventures in Brooklyn, anxieties about the Holocaust and the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby and more.
