Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Update - October 16, 2008
The Kinko for President Campaign Tour has returned to New York. The show visited six swing states this year. In 2012 we aim to visit every state. Thanks to everyone that came out to celebrate the campaign carnival. Although we have three more weeks until we find out if a real clown is heading to the White House, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus is taking a break from national politics. You can expect us to continue to entertain the masses in these economically challenging times.
We have a variety of shows coming up this winter, so stay tuned.
This update includes:
* Bindlestiff's coming to Detroit for Theatre Bizarre
* Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cavalcade of Youth
* Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Webisodes on-line
* Kinko for President Merchandise now available on-line
* Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Winter Cabaret
