Mr. Pennygaff & Philomena's Cirkus & Sideshow

Hudson, NY
Admission: members/students/general:$5 / $2.50 / $5
at John L. Edwards Elementary School - 360 State Street, Hudson, NY
For more info: http://timeandspace.org
Time and Space Limited present Mr. Pennygaff & Philomena's Cirkus &
Sideshow, a Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts production. The Hudson-based
Vaudeville celebrities will be performing their juggling, bed of nails,
broken glass dancing, and sword swallowing with a twist of slapstick. The
Bindlestiffs will be presenting Mr. Pennygaff & Philomena's Cirkus &
Sideshow, a kid oriented performance that romanticizes the heyday of
vaudeville while adding a contemporary flavor of irony and silliness.
Regardless of how old (or young) you are, you'll be amazed by the sword
swallowing, tickled by the monologues in between set changes, and intrigued
by the forgotten history of vaudeville.
A question and answer period will follow the show.

a plus. Performer would be expected to interact with the audience prior to
