As we prepare to bring the Cirkus to your town we focus on the many aspects: marketing, costumes, finding rehearsal space, technical support,and equipment. This tour we are facing an even greater burden on a touring company, the $4 gallon of gas, so we come to you, our fans, friends, and donors, with an appeal for your support. Every donation is greatly appreciated, whether it is five dollars or five thousand dollars. With your help, Circus, Sideshow, Vaudeville and Burlesque continue to thrive despite the rising costs of insurance, gas, props, publicity, legal fees, moving costs, storage, venue rentals... Donations can be give on-line at http://www.bindlestiff.org or by sending a check or money order to Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc., PO Box 1917, New York, NY 10009. You can also donate online at http://www.bindlestiff.org/donate.html Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization devoted to the preservation and evolution of the variety arts. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Magic Hat Summer Variety Tour Schedule and Details Thursday, June 8, 2006 Red Square, 388 Broadway, Albany, NY Show time: 9 pm Admission: $15 / $10 if you dress in your Festive Finest Info: 518-432-8584 / www.redsquarealbany.com Friday, June 9, 2006 Higher Ground 1214 Williston Rd., South Burlington, VT Show time: 9 pm Admission: $10 Advance, $15 day of show Info: highergroundmusic.com / 802 652 0777 Saturday, June 10, 2006 Space 538, 538 Congress Street, Portland, ME 04101 Show time: 8 pm Admission: $15 or $10 for costume/clown makeup Info: www.space538.org / 207-828-5600 Sunday, June 11, 2006 Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, 79 Washington St., Providence, RI Show time: 8 pm Admission: $12 Local Contact Info: (401) 331-5876 / http://www.lupos.com Monday, June 12, 2006 Toad's Place, 300 York Street, New Haven, CT Show time: 9 pm Admission: $12 Info: www.toadsplace.com / 203-562-5589 Wednesday June 14 Samuel S.
