Bindlestiff Family Cirkus

SAINT JOSEPH PERFORMING ARTS ASSOCIATION WELCOMES THE LEGENDARY BINDLESTIFF FAMILY CIRKUS TO THE MISSOURI THEATRE WITH ITS EXTRAORDINARY BRAND OF ENTERTAINMENT

Celebrating two decades of keeping American traditional circus alive, the legendary Bindlestiff Family Cirkus brings its diverse roster of the world’s finest circus, sideshow, vaudeville, and variety talent to The Missouri Theatre on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are on sale now.

The 6-person troupe of Cirkus superstars includes Bindlestiff Family Cirkus co-founder Keith Nelson, who delivers Vaudeville classics like spinning plates and tops; Sideshow thrills like sword swallowing and the lost arts of the Gentleman Juggler, like mouthstick balance. Equilibrist Ermiyas Muluken performs breathtaking stunts high atop an Unsupported Ladder and Rolla Bolla; Multi-talented artist Ariel Emory will make heads spin with her dynamic Cyr act;  Esther de Monteflores will dance along a slack wire suspended above the stage, and juggling comedian Sam Malcolm will amaze with his prop manipulation skills and wit. Even Bindlestiff’s travelling Stage Manager, Pher Gleason, joins in the fun as the whole ensemble juggles and flips across the stage. This is an up-close and intimate show, and there’s no telling which audience member may be called up on stage to participate!
