Bread and Puppet: The Upside Down World Circus

Bread and Puppet Theater brings its legendary outdoor circus to Berea this fall—a spectacular performance featuring oversized puppets, stilt walkers, papier-mâché creatures, and live brass music. The show blends slapstick humor, elaborate pageantry, and satirical commentary inspired by real-world events. This will be their only appearance in Northern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania this season, making it a unique opportunity to experience their distinctive style of theatrical performance. After the show wraps up, there's a special community tradition: Bread and Puppet shares freshly baked sourdough rye bread with everyone in attendance and sells affordable handmade Cheap Art. Tickets are $20 for general admission, children under 12 get in free, and the theater's policy ensures no one is turned away due to inability to pay. It's an evening designed for families who appreciate imaginative, unconventional theater that sparks conversation and connection.
