The Dirt Cheap Money Circus

By Peter Schumann, with input from the company

Directed by Peter Schumann

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.

For all ages. Some of the circus acts are politically puzzling to adults, but accompanying kids can usually explain them.

After the 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 legendary Cheap Art.
