jamie adkins: circus incognitus

Kicking off our 2025-2026 Live Arts Experience Season, Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County Public School 1st grade students had a blast at the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts at JMU with Jamie Adkins and his unforgettable circus comedy show. Channeling vaudeville legend Charlie Chaplin, Jamie Adkins put on a hilarious and highly engaging one-man show filled with physical comedy, acrobatics, and audience participation. Students were equally in awe of his incredible talent while laughing out loud at the silliness of his performance. Our friends, Tall and Small Photography captured the joy beautifully; check out the images below to see the magic.
