Read below how you can be a part of the show:
Take part in the 2nd Annual Circus Show & Other Atrocities

Join us as we run away and create the circus, Second Saturday, September 13th, 2008; a night of art in
all its forms; visual, musical & performance.

What does “atrocities” have to do with the circus you ask? Well, the circus is an exciting, magical place to
run away to – if you’re a human! That’s because humans have a choice to perform death-defying acts for
a roaring crowd while animals are forced into chains, cages and beatings to perform degrading tricks. And
that’s no fun! That’s why the 2nd annual Circus Show and Other Atrocities gives the animals a voice,
through the art and acts and donates part of the proceeds to animal charities, including
Born Free USA
and
PAWS. And giving the circus animals a voice can be a whole lotta fun, as last year’s event can attest.

And do feel free to just show up in your best carnival costume – the more circus freaks the better!
Volunteers:

We can use your help and have a lot of fun things going on before, during and after the show:

  •      Pre-Show Set Up to help move, build, setup and ready the gallery for the event.
      We've got things to do weeks, days, and even hours before the show.

  •     Parade Participants Last year we had blast with a parade of dressed up circus freaks,
     including a “Ringling Train of Pain” clown car and a "poke the human" cage that snaked
     through downtown handing out free “tickets” for the show. We'll meet about 4:30 and then
     be back at the Circus Show location around 6pm to keep the freak show going (
more details).

  •     Circus Show Carneys from running a game, helping with carnival food, assisting performers,
     and so much more, consider volunteering your time and being a Carney the night of the show.

  •     Post-Show Take Down help us take it all down and store it away, the evening of the show
     and in the few days that follow.

Please let us know what you're interested in doing by sending an email to our Circus Show Volunteer
Coordinator Tracy at Born Free USA
