November 12, 2025


Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable kick off to seasonal celebrations or on the hunt for the perfect gift for the young adventurers in your life, the Trust Family series presents awe-inspiring theater for thrill seekers & make-believers of all ages!

Coming November 22, world-renowned Omnium Circus brings a physics-defying odyssey that’s both radically fun & comprehensively inclusive! Through the story of a young boy’s journey to find courage, strength and perseverance, their diverse cast of disabled & differently-abled cirque experts champion the human spirit present in all of us (even if we can’t all twist, fly and juggle like they do!).

DC Metro Arts hails Omnium as “a theatrical spectacle with heart-stopping scenes and an unforgettable emotional arc….[they are] truly the circus of the future” while the New York Times cheers the production as “genuinely extraordinary”! 

Turning the impossible into I’mPossible, this fun-for-the-whole-fam madcap adventure has just one performance you won’t want to miss – November 22nd at the Byham Theater (perfect to add some accessible family fun before your Light Up Night festivities)! 


Then, save your seats now and lock in that “best gift ever” trophy with a show that’s nothing short of jurassic in size: Dinosaur World Live!

Coming all the way from across the pond for just 2 shows on Saturday, January 17, this Olivier “Best Family Entertainment” award-winning show has become a crowd-pleasing hit all around the globe.

Impressively large, stunning puppetry and an array of special effects set the scene for these remarkably lifelike creatures to roar across the Byham Theater’s stage. With your character guide Miranda – the daughter of palaeontologists who grew up surrounded by dinosaurs in a remote South American island – you’ll catch the iconic Triceratops, Segnosaurus, and Microraptor alongside every child’s favorite flesh-eating giant the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Be sure to stick around after the show for an interactive meet & greet, but be warned: Some of these dinos aren’t as docile as they may seem!

Dinosaur World Live is brought to life by a creative team consisting of alumni from the most well-known puppeteered productions including global & Broadway hits Little Shop of Horrors and War Horse, Cirque de Soleil, Peter Pan and more, now coming live for your family on January 17 only!

Tickets for each production begin at just $17.25 – save your seats now before they go extinct! Visit TrustArts.org/Family for more.
