You have a Screwloose Circus!

Mab has searched far and wide to bring you the freshest vaudeville entertainment.  And look at what she's found!

The Screwloose Circus is a darker, cruelly amusing take on the classic traveling show that promises to delight, shock and entertain its guests with the same vindictive humor of a child falling flat on their face.

Specializing in small venues, and catering to alternative adult audiences there is an act for every taste; ranging from dazzling fire dances, long walks over broken glass and balloon bondage scenes. A classical, sepia toned circus of yesteryear, with a fresh coat of black, red and white paint, this isn't your grammpy's show...

They will be creating a ruckus ("can you describe the ruckus, sir?") @ The Palace of Wonders in DC this Thursday evening!

Clowns! Jugglers! Sideshow! Burlesque! UKES!!

Featuring the Unkillable Kilian, Wobbles the Clown, Mab, Just Mab, Juggler Jim and MORE!

Only $10 to show your love!
Only at the Palace of Wonders

The Dirt Cheap Money Cabaret

The latest edition of Bread and Puppet Theater’s cabaret series, the Dirt Cheap Money Cabaret, features the Jolly Battle between Mountaintop Removal Protesters and Mountaintop Machinery; an ancient take on bananas, a President, and a Chair; and much more, all interspersed with commentary from Karl Marx. The Even Cheaper Accordion and String ensemble will provide soothing sounds for winter-weary nerves.

The Dirt Cheap Money Circus

The Dirt Cheap Money Circus features the billionaire bonus celebration dance, the logic of the US Healthcare System, the history of humanity and the removal of a mountaintop,  interspersed with appearances by Karl Marx, who confronts the 2009 economic situation with his existential thoughts about money and our relationship to it.  And much more.  As always, this year’s circus performs to a live band.

Some of the circus acts are politically puzzling to adults, but accompanying kids can usually explain them. After each performance there will be an opportunity to savor the troupe's famous sourdough rye bread, smeared with garlic aioli, and to purchase the theater's Cheap Art.

About The Bread and Puppet Theater

Bread & Puppet has performed social justice theater with giant puppets for 45 years since forming on the streets of New York City in the 1960s. Their earliest work was on the subjects of war, rats, garbage collection and rent strikes. They pioneered the use of giant puppets in street protests against the Vietnam War. Bread & Puppet is internationally honored and performs each year on their farm in rural Vermont throughout July and August. In the off season, they tour domestically and internationally. So come see them while they're here!
