Kansas City, MO – It's the arts roundup, the audio guide to the arts. This week, UniverSoul Circus, an African-American circus comes to town; and a film takes a behind-the-scenes look at a year of art openings in one local gallery as part of this weekend's KC Fringe Festival in the Crossroads Arts District. KCUR's Laura Spencer reports.

UniverSoul Circus violinist LaTonya Peoples grew up in Topeka, Kansas.
