Open Air
Cirque des Morts '26
It's that time again as we start planning our next show for October. This year’s theme for Cirque des Morts will be “Femme Fatales.” We want a show filled with dangerous and deadly women, whether they are historical figures, real life personalities, fictional characters, or even concepts of your own creation. They can be well known, lesser known, or entirely imagined ideas, let your creativity run wild! It is the kick off the spooky season, so the deadlier the better!
Important Dates
Show Dates: October 2nd and 3rd
-Dress Rehearsal: Saturday, September 26th, one week prior to the show
