The 2010 International VSA Festival performances at the Discovery Theater will conclude with a play full of fun—and a message! Giggles, the 10-year-old star of McDuffle’s Circus, takes center ring every night to share her contagious giggle with the audience. Born without a voice, but with the ability to giggle, Giggles was raised by the circus when her parents left to find a cure for Giggle’s giggles. Her life is forever changed when a big-time agent sees her act and hires her to share her talent with the world. Giggles is a show about how being different is okay and family is what you make it.
