The event will take place Monday, October 12th with cabaret-style, reserved seating. There will be ten foot diameter circles with 4 seats inside, so each seat can be separated by six feet or more. The circles will also be separated by eight feet in every direction. Doors will open at 1pm, with side-show performers beginning at 2pm and The Insurrection-Resurrection Service Circus performance kicking off at 3pm. Red Hen will provide pizza for sale and the Liquid Time Bar, operated by Lost Nation Brewing, will have snacks, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for sale as well.

Tickets will be $25 for adults, kids 11-16 $10 and kids 10 and under FREE. The Green will be open free of charge to the public until noon and for ticket holders only from 1-5pm (also open to the public after the show)

The Insurrection-Resurrection Service Circus is this summer’s contribution to the Bread and Puppet Circus tradition beloved by audiences worldwide for nearly two generations – a bright, raucous melee of short acts governed by a brass band, addressing the heart of the current moment using diverse puppetry styles and spanning many moods, from slapstick to the sublime.

Bread and Puppet’s founder and director, Peter Schumann, says the show is “a service for citizens, aliens and immigrants alike to demonstrate the ills that inspire uprising against callously incompetent government and the tragedies that result from that callous incompetence and call for resurrection.”

The Bread and Puppet Company is just back from a short regional tour of The Insurrection-Resurrection Service Circus and is performing it one more time for Vermonters who may have missed it in Glover this summer, or may want to see it again in its latest version.

Side-shows by several local performers associated with Bread and Puppet will precede the Circus and an exhibit of large Bread and Puppet banners and Peter Schumann paintings will be on view around the performance area.

After the shows, Bread and Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli (in new, physically distanced fashion) and Bread and Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread and Puppet Press – will be for sale.
