Sara Sparrow is an entertainer. She is a contortionist, an aerialist, a dancer, a master of acrobatics and a teacher. She has, as she calls it, "a circus background."

She performs at the monthly "Brotherhood Takes Flight" show, where she occasionally guest performs with the Tallhouse Arts Consortium.

"I don't know of any other bar show, or even regular aerial show, that attracts such a huge crowd and is really supported and enjoyed by the community in the way the Brotherhood shows are," Sparrow said. "The shows are special because the audience is so close and involved. It really makes for an amazing time for both performers and spectators."

THE BROTHERHOOD TAKES FLIGHT, 8 p.m., first Wednesdays, Brotherhood Lounge, 119 Capitol Way, Olympia, free admission, 360.352.4153
