Run away TO THE CIRCUS
Step out of the winter gray and into a world where glitter meets grit, romance takes a backseat, and pleasure - of every variety - sits firmly in the driver’s seat.
Palentine's Day is Southern Illinois’ decadent theatrical alternative to the usual February fluff: a dark circus celebration of self-love, friendship, sass, and spectacle. For one night only, we gather a hand-picked lineup of sultry singers, burlesque beauties, and circus oddities from across the region and beyond: each bringing their own brand of fire, flirtation, and fabulous chaos to the ring.
This is an immersive theater indulgence with bold acts to seduce your senses, wickedly clever comedy, riveting characters, interactive games and deliciously cheeky mischief all wrapped in a lush, theatrical atmosphere where you’re invited to dress up, drink up, and let yourself be entertained. This year's theme, Dolls of the Dead, invites you to explore your wicked clockwork wild-side with us while we entertain you.
No partner required. No romance expected. Just a wild, welcoming night of artistry, revelry, and unapologetic joy.
Your ticket is the key...our performers are waiting. Step inside the ring.
