<strong>Bread & Puppet</strong> is returning to Boston for its 6th annual visit to the <strong>Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts</strong> <strong> </strong>from January 21 through 27 ... and would love to offer some <u><strong>discount show tickets</strong></u> as our way of thanking all those who have been connected to us in some way throughout our 50 years of performing world-wide.

For this one week residency at the Cyclorama, both the evening and matinee performances will be performed by artistic director <strong>Peter Schumann</strong>, the Bread & Puppet touring company, and a large number of local volunteers and musicians, including the popular Somerville-based <strong>Second Line Social Aid & Pleasure Society Brass Band</strong><strong> </strong>(<a href="http://marycurtinproductions.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8dd68e355816b775b32bf40c0&id=bb897dd3ad&e=9c0d36c1b4" style="color:#336699;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">www.slsaps.org</a>), which serves as the house band for Bread & Puppet’s Boston performances. [They also happen to be the host band for the annual HONK! Festival (<a href="http://marycurtinproductions.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8dd68e355816b775b32bf40c0&id=fcefb51ac2&e=9c0d36c1b4" style="color:#336699;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">www.honkfest.org</a>) held in October in Davis Square, Somerville.] The week will also include an art exhibit, the sale of Bread & Puppet’s legendary <strong>Cheap Art</strong>, and after the 7 pm evening performances, the opportunity to savor Schumann’s home-made sourdough rye bread spread with garlic-laden aioli.<br>
<br>
[***<u>If you are interested in participating in the performances</u>, rehearsals for the evening shows will be held in the Cyclorama on Tues. & Wed., Jan. 22 & 23, from 6-10 pm, and for the Circus matinees, on Sat., Jan. 26, from 9 am-1 pm (with a possible brush-up rehearsal on Sun. starting at 11 am).
