Amy Shure
Amy Shure: (Performer in “Cirque Le Jazz” & “Gravity”)
Amy is honored to be part of this incredible company. Starting out as a musical theatre performer, she always found herself being the one doing all the acrobatics, being thrown into the air, and loving it! Therefore, aerial found her, she likes to say, when she was asked to learn spanish web for a production of Barnum. She couldn’t even climb the rope at first, but little by little she started falling in love with aerial more and more! Now it has become such a huge and empowering part of her life. She owes thanks to Joshua Dean for taking her under his wing and being such an amazing and supportive teacher! How wonderful to find a home with 2 Ring Circus, which combines all her loves: aerial, acrobatics and theatre, into one neat little package! Favorite theatre credits include: Minnie Fay in Hello Dolly (Theatre Under the Stars starring Leslie Uggams, Ogunquit Playhouse starring Sally Struthers, Arkansas Rep); Greta Schlegel in Carnival (Goodspeed Opera House); Dream Jenny Lind/aerialist in Barnum (Asolo Repertory Theatre, Maltz Jupiter Theatre); Mikado (New York City Opera); Swing! (Maine State Music Theatre, Ogunquit Playhouse;Rumpleteazer in CATS (National Tour); Anybodys in West Side Story; Frenchy in Grease; Radio City Music Hall; Pittsburgh CLO, Kansas City Starlight, Atlanta TOTS, Casa Manana.
