In the town of Spoon River, the dead tell tales. This year’s STC cohort performs Edward Lee Master’s poetic classic play as a culmination of the circus and acting techniques taught by Time Flies Circus and guest artists. Each student inhabits at least one of 212 separate characters, who share their unabashed feelings about each other and the meaning of life.
Tickets are available in-person or via livestream HERE.
Each student will receive 2 complimentary tickets. As a COVID precaution, we will ask for RSVPs in advance for all audience members. Additional tickets will go on sale soon, and are $10 each.
