B&P coming to a city near you!

I write with news that Bread & Puppet has embarked on a National Tour with two new shows, The Apocalypse Defiance Circus and The University of Majd. We hope that we may have the opportunity to play in a town or city near you!

We’ve been on the road for two weeks, performing for audiences in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York. This week, we have begun our westward plunge, with shows in Western New York and Ohio. The tour will take us across the midwest, through the great plains and the rocky mountain states, down the west coast, back through the southwest, the Gulf Coast and the deep south, up through Appalachia, in order to deliver us to New York City in time for our traditional December run at Theater for the New City.

A detailed list of currently confirmed shows follows below, and please check the touring schedule page of the B&P website frequently to catch updates regarding new bookings!

Please email Paul Bedard ([email protected]) with contacts!

All best,
Josh Krugman, for the Touring Company
