Cirque-Works Birdhouse Factory presents three amazing shows at the Alys Stephens Center -- come journey to an imagination factory where every machine is used for one amazing feat after another. The workers at the H. Rosebud Factory are interconnected by their roles on the assembly line until a hapless bird flies into one of their machines, creating mayhem and forever altering their lives and the factory’s future. Featuring former members of Cirque du Soleil fame, they will transport audience members to a place where work-weary and numb factory workers become extraordinary purveyors of love and life. This is circus with a heart, which tells the story of laughter, love, flight, loss and how we each are connected to one another.

This show is an ASC Social Club event; join the club for a party after Friday night’s show with live entertainment, great food, drink specials and a chance to mingle with the cast and fellow social club members. Tickets are $10; the party is free for ASC Social Club members.
