On Sunday, April 23 @ 7 p.m. the Barnum Museum is partnering with its friends at the Fairfield University Quick Center for the Arts to bring you Cirque Alfonse: A Farm Story which is a dynamic and exciting show! Best of all, the Museum has arranged a special discount code for tickets - ANIMAL20 that entitles those that use the code to tickets to this show for just $20. For the discount code, click here.
Animal: A Farm Story takes us on a journey of discovery through a series of slightly surreal farm fables served up with a touch of irreverence, impressive virtuosity, and the irreverent circus company’s familiar comic touch. In this re-invented “farm fantasy,” the farm is turned upside down and the barn is turned inside out. A production for young and old alike, Animal is the Farm gone haywire!
Cirque Alfonse’s founding members have all worked with some of the most renowned “nouveau cirque” companies around the world. The company favors a multidisciplinary approach where circus, song, dance, and theater come together, driven by original live music in an irresistible mix of trad and soul that the troupe calls “agricultural funk.”
ABOUT THE BARNUM MUSEUM:
The historic Barnum Museum is undergoing a major restoration of the magnificent exterior of the landmark building. To ensure safety, the Museum is closed for general public visitation. The staff continues to work and is available for questions and inquiries. Contact us here. We apologize for this inconvenience, but a new, immersive, 21st-century Barnum Museum is on the horizon!
Bridgeport's Barnum Museum is one of P. T. Barnum's many philanthropic gifts. Completed in 1893, the architecturally significant building boasts a unique combination of styles and terracotta ornamentation and is listed on the National Register. Today the museum proudly shares the history and legacy of the world-famous entrepreneur, showman, and museum proprietor, who was also a state legislator, mayor, real estate developer, and philanthropist.
The museum is home to thousands of artifacts, many pertaining to Bridgeport native Tom Thumb and his wife, Lavinia Warren, as well as the acclaimed Swedish soprano Jenny Lind.
