My favorite darlings...
It has been a real battle getting this far, but we are pulling all our perseverance together to put this show on for you. It is important to us to keep our community growing. We want to include everyone, including the fledglings coming up in the next generation. And that is why Cirque du Sang is so important! We want to have this ages 13+ up show for the baby bats and adults alike! It has been a long, long journey, with many obstacles. Unfortunately, our host venue, the Broken Bow Asylum has had to close its doors forever. We battled our best against it, and with a dear friend, but it just was not in the cards. With that being said, we are still putting on the show. We are not giving up. We have secured an amazing venue to host Cirque du Sang, and we think you all will really like it. We will be hosting Cirque INSIDE the Annex of Terror haunted house this October. We have booked the entire haunt for this private event, which we have chosen to move to Saturday October 7th, in time for Halloween! Vendors and performers will be inside the haunt itself, and you will be welcome to travel between scenes in the creepy cool haunted atmosphere along the trail. You can mingle with others, purchase fang-tastic wares, and watch some amazing performances all along the haunted attraction, which will set the perfect mood. The haunted attraction will not be operating while the event is going on, but we encourage you to come back and check it out on a normal night too to get your Halloween on!

And, lastly, we have chosen to add a few more VIP packages that are on sale now! Don't wait to get yours, they will not be available at the door!
We appreciate all of your support and patience while we navigate these difficult times. We will see you this October at CIRQUE DU SANG
