CHRISTMAS WINTER CIRCUS

Interviews behind the scenes

In 2022 we celebrated an anniversary; fifty years of the Christmas Winter Circus. For this special anniversary edition we asked several people behind the scenes what they think of the circus in the Parktheater. They include ringmaster Arjan Smit, ringmaster Trolle Rhodin, regular visitor Kees van Hoof and programmer Mons de Goede.

For years Arjan Smit has past event ringmaster of our Christmas Winter Circus. Arjan announces all acts that can be seen in the circus. He knows how to combine humor and presentation excellently and makes sure it is fun for the children and their parents. We asked Arjan what he thinks of the circus in the Parktheater.
