Colorful Hat

In 2007, Producer Thomas Seaton brought an all-star cast of performers to the legendary Canopy Studio in Athens Georgia in order to create and rehearse a brand new theatrical circus production - the Colorful Hat - which then toured Theaters and Performing Arts Centers throughout the United States in 2007 and 2008.

The 2007 & 2008 Colorful Hat tours starred former Cirque du Soleil aerialists Elsie Smith and Serenity Smith Forchion. These identical twins choreographed and performed the aerial acts in the show including their award winning double trapeze act entitled "Dos Chicas."
