Cirque of the Dead Immersive Event - Main Image

Gather your friends and pack the s’mores, Cirque of the Dead is going camping! Join us deep in the forest for a night of stories around the campfire, where flickering shadows make you wonder what's watching from beyond the firelight. The night - and the stories - will only get darker as the fire burns low. But surely, we’ll be perfectly safe when the sun comes up… Or will we? Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Come early to experience interactive performances happening throughout the space before the main show! Show runtime is approximately 70 minutes with no intermission.
