Gather your friends and pack the s’mores, Cirque of the Dead is going camping! Join us deep in the forest for a night of stories around the campfire, where flickering shadows can make you wonder what might be watching from beyond the firelight. The night – and the stories – will only get darker as the fire burns low. But surely, we’ll be perfectly safe when the sun comes up… Or will we?

Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Come early to catch preshow vignettes happening throughout the space before the main performance! Runtime is approximately 70 minutes with no intermission.
