The matinee performance of 'Dirt Cheap Money Circus' features the billionaire bonus celebration dance, the logic of the US Healthcare System, the history of humanity and the removal of a mountaintop, interspersed with appearances by Karl Marx, who confronts the 2010 economic situation with his existential thoughts about money and our relationship to it. All with live circus band accompaniment.

**Although this is deemed a family-friendly matinees, themes still may not be appropriate for the under 12 set.

Performed by Peter Schumann and the Bread & Puppet Company, along with a large number of local volunteer puppeteers and musicians. Take note that some of the circus acts are politically puzzling to adults, but accompanying kids can usually explain them. The audience is welcome to examine all the masks and puppets after the show.

Cheap art will be for sale after each performance. For more information on the Bread and Puppet Theater, log onto www.breadandpuppet.org.
