Dave, I’m shocked that you omitted one of the best events of the year — Circus Amok is opening this weekend. It has Acrobats! Drag! Giant puppets! Music! Politics! and it is free.
Here’s the announcement:
Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, and the Rest of Us: Circus Amok presents our 19th spectacular theatrical extravaganza: “MOO.”
FREE! FREE! FREE!
In “MOO” we encounter a circus under siege! Creditors are knocking down the doors, performers disappearing left and right, and there’s a cow on the loose! But the show must go on! Astounding acrobats, stunning stilters, bodacious bovines, and catastrophic clowns all forge ahead while a wire-walker teeters on the edge of sanity. Cops and Carol Channing mix it up in this not-to-be-missed spectacle!
