Schaeffer Auditorium

Bindlestiff Family Cirkus has traveled the world bringing its unique hybrid of vaudeville, circus, and sideshow spectacle to communities far and wide. Bindlestiff Family Cirkus harkens back to the earthy and gritty heyday of the traditional American circus that toured the country by caravan at the turn of the 20th century, while adding the artistic twist of co-founders Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson. Join us for an afternoon of jugglers, plate spinning, sword swallowing, brain twisters, and other risk-taking feats in a fun and interactive show perfect for the entire family.  

“Imaginative…delightfully clever…the show exudes … warmth and affection…all but irresistible.” - Spectacle Magazine
