Friends & Family,

I want to take a moment to share with you what I've been working on for the past month and a half. 

It is my honor to announce that I've been chosen to direct my first major production, 'Beneath' by Cirque Berzerk.  Cirque Berzerk is a young theatrical circus company based in Los Angeles. 

For the past 12 years, I've been fortunate enough to work in the entertainment industry, growing and learning as a performer and writer.  I've loved each and every moment, and can't wait to share with you my latest creation.

Here's some official sounding stuff:

Take a look at our website:    www.cirqueberzerk.com
Hope to see you all at our debut performance on June 18th.  We are expecting a huge celebrity turn out!


Your pal,

Joshua

Want to run away with the circus?  Want to leave this life behind?

Following a completely sold-out and held-over engagement in the summer of 2008, Los Angeles' only established circus troupe Cirque Berzerk  returns for the 2009 run of "Beneath", a decadent and demented descent into the underworld.

Opening on June 18th in downtown Los Angeles, the world "Beneath" features fiery burlesque dancers, jaw-dropping acrobatics, stunning aerialists, punk rock clowns, gothic stilt-walkers, and psychedelic vaudevillian tomfoolery.  Come early to dine picnic-style around the tent, and stay late for a nightly party in the Berzerk Lounge with the Cirque Berzerk circus troupe and enjoy a live performance by Vaud & the Villains. 

Cirque Berzerk is under the artistic guidance of Director, Joshua Ryan Zehner and Assistant Director and Choreographer, Jason Berrent.  The two young and creative visionaries have been seen world-wide in a combined 12,000 performances working with distinguished organizations such as Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, The Late Show with David Letterman, Second City, Comedy Central, NBC & BET.
