Circus Contraption and The Stranger present:
Circus Contraption triumphantly opens its second decade with the return of 2008's fabulously successful and acclaimed The SHOW to End All SHOWS at Theo Chocolate in Fremont. A departure from Circus Contraption's usual turn-of-the-century fare, The SHOW to End All SHOWS imagines a family-owned circus with all the glamour and glitz of the 70's and 80's. The time, however, is now, and the glamour shows signs of decay. A sense of imminent destruction looms as things begin to go awry under the tent. The Ringmaster (a Jim Jones-style patriarch) insists upon the willful denial of their world's demise, not only by his progeny but by the audience.
NOTE: This show contains some mature content and is not recommended for children ages 12 and under.
The Circus Factory--3400 Phinney Ave N

Printer's Devil Theatre and Theatre Off Jackson Present:
Starring Stephen Hando, Katy Bourne, Shannon Kipp, and Joe Zavadil
Directed by Jennifer Jasper
Oh, Keefee. Whether modeling a fashionable house arrest bracelet, sporting an alarming Speedo or just wandering (drink in hand) through the night looking for his pal Randy, Keefee has been a fixture of the Tallahassee gay bar culture for longer than anybody cares to remember. He was born in Florida and everybody expected him to die there. Well, life's funny, idn't it? For reasons even he isn't sure of, Keefee now finds himself in Las Vegas dealing blackjack at Shenanigans, a low-rent casino just off off off the Vegas Strip. And tonight he's not just any dealer, he's your dealer.
Theatre Off Jackson--
7:30 pm

STG Presents:
Fifteen life-size dinosaurs walk the arena floor - feeding, fighting, protecting their young, defending their territory and convincing a live audience that dinosaurs are alive and present. The biggest dinosaurs are enormous with the adult Brachiosaurus standing over 40 feet tall. They represent state-of-the-art new 360- degree animatronic technology going beyond current techniques that have been developed for the film and TV industries. Based on the award-winning BBC series, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS - THE LIVE EXPERIENCE is both a study in natural history and an engaging, innovative piece of live entertainment.
