Meet the Board
Nicole Fearnbach Viverito
President
Years in Circus: 2007-2012
Acts: Aerial cradle, Flying trapeze, Acrobatic jump rope, Web, Balancing
Favorite Flying High Memory: I loved all of the behind the scenes moments - Putting up the tent, spreading the sawdust, building and raising the frame, rigging for the first practice of the day, creating new routines, and tearing down after the last show each summer at Callaway. All the things that make the circus go. But if I had to pick a favorite performance memory, it would be my 300th and final show on cradle with Jake Pacilio.
Sosie Kae Quarrie
Vice President (President-Elect)
Years in Circus: 2009-2017
Acts: Triple trapeze, Bike for 5, and Production Team
Favorite Flying High Memory: Besides meeting my best friend, Keenan Rogers; a family came up to me after a show and told me how amazing it was seeing representation of people of color in our show, especially how important it was for their kids to see. I think about the moment a lot.
Shannon Calloway
Secretary
Years in Circus: 2003-2008
Acts: Hanging perch, Bike for 5, Setting slack wire, and Ringmaster. I also practiced skating a whole lot but never performed it.
Favorite Flying High Memory: Choosing one favorite memory is impossible. I spent every minute of my life at the lot and with circus people. It continues to be such an important part of my life. For the sake of brevity, I'll say that I was fortunate to make Dickie Brinson's famous peach cobbler with the man himself on a few occasions, and that was pretty darn special.
Current board serving through April 2023

Favorite Flying High Memory: This is too hard! In my last home show weekend, I had made some mistakes and had some falls in the shows leading up to Saturday night. Somehow, I (we) pulled it all together and hit everything including our passing leap! I was so excited I could not stop jumping up and down on the p-board. I also had many cast mates perform big that night, it was awesome!
