Thank you for attending PS21’s 2023 Nouveau Cirque Gala! We hope you had as much fun as we did. The PS21 campus was alive with color – both from rainbows and the outfits of our magnificent 200 guests!
We are pleased to report that thanks to all of you, we had our most successful Gala ever. Proceeds allows us to continue to grow PS21, to bring world-class programming to Chatham at affordable ticket prices, to offer free community workshops and classes, and to maintain our 100-acre campus. Thank you!
A special thanks to our guest of honor Jack Shear, to chef Josephine Proul of Local 111, and to the incredible performers of Cirk La Putyka for their roles in the evening. Relive the evening through the photo gallery below! Photos by Steven Taylor and Ralph Gartner.

Praised by The Guardian as “a moving exploration of time . . . through dance, music, acrobatics and dialogue” and an instant hit at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Runners is a stunning circus/dance masterpiece making its North American debut at PS21.
Award winning company, Cirk La Putyka, presents a spellbinding show filled to the brim with enchanting dance, impressive acrobatics, and original live music, all set on a giant moving treadmill. From its inception contemporary circus has challenged genre boundaries and blended acrobatic physicality and athleticism with elements of theater, music, dance, new media, and the visual arts.
