* Saturday Matinee Pre-Show Children's Carnival

Before Saturday’s 1 p.m. show, there will be a pre-show children’s carnival that begins at noon with games and activities for all ages. This special event is kid-approved and open to everyone that has a youth ticket to the matinee show. Admission to the carnival is the matinee ticket. The pre-matinee carnival is sponsored by the ISU Student Alumni Council.

Gamma Phi's main performance takes place every April. It is called the "home show," a two-hour live performance featuring more than a dozen acts. Gamma Phi Circus troupe members are involved in all aspects of the shows from costumes and choreography to act development and performance. Additionally, members of Gamma Phi are responsible for promoting home shows through print, electronic and social media and class presentations during show month. Performances take place under the Redbird Arena Big Top.
