The cirkus is in town …

Yep. Just when you thought it was safe, New York’s Bindlestiff Family Cirkus & Autonomadic Bookmobile Roadshow pull back into town ready to entertain with their particularly peculiar brand of side-show stunts, daredevil feats, magic, novelty acts and live music. This time around they’re at The Senator, and they perform two shows: At 7 p.m., it’s an all ages show; and at 10 p.m., it’s a somewhat naughtier and funnier, 18-and-over-only show. Both shows open with local band Ant Farm. For cost and more information: 894-8621. Or drop by the Senator Theater, at 517 Main St., between East Fifth and East Sixth Streets in beautiful downtown Chico.
