The Circus is back in town! Come down to the Lincoln Theatre for the return of the New Old Time Chautauqua!
FREE for kids 12 and under!
New Old Time Chautauqua (NOTC) aims to delight, educate, amaze, and provoke the imagination of adults and children alike. Over 50 performers will bring circus acts and hijinks to our stage, as well as an afternoon of workshops in the Circus Arts.
The NOTC tour celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Flying Karamazov Brothers, who will perform some of their most hilarious and beloved routines from the last five decades.
Artis the Spoonman -- a PNW legend brought to international fame by Soundgarden and Frank Zappa -- will bring spellbinding, faster-than-the-eye-can-track spoonplaying to the stage, and the life size puppetry of "Shel Silverstein poem brought to life" Godfrey Daniels will bring joy to every heart.
And more, and more, and more -- NOTC also features hula hooper, rope twirler, and trumpet player Vanessa Vortex, cellist Christine Gunn from the Walkabouts and the acoustic trio Trillian Green, the modern troubadour guitar-picking of Jim Page, "poet-in-residence" on Bellingham’s Chuckanut Radio Hour Kevin Murphy, Harry Levine of the Mud Bay Jugglers, the mesmerizing & surreal spectacle of the vaudevillian mime Poki, and the clowning, acrobatics, magic, and music of Sayde Osterloh.
All of this is underscored and encouraged by The Fighting Instruments of Karma marching chamber band!
