Tuesday, November 10
Concert Hall   
$6 students, $8 adults

  SOLD OUT

When world-renowned circus stars dream up a factory, it is no ordinary industrial plant. It's a wild and wonderful workshop where the machines are circus props and the workers are acrobats, dancers, contortionists, and clowns. It's Birdhouse Factory by Cirque Mechanics, an extraordinary troupe of Cirque du Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, and Moscow Circus veterans who transform the mundane into the magnificent. Don't miss a performance that's perfect for audiences of all ages: mesmerizing, passionate and joyous! Recommended for all ages.

Curriculum Connections: Circus Arts, Physics, Diego Rivera, the Great Depression, American Industry
