Running Amok

I wrote about Jennifer Miller's fabulous Circus Amok last July, when the troupe was holding auditions for an acrobat to join them for their fall show. Well, now it's showtime!



Their latest political satire is called "Sub-Prime Sublime," and it's coming to a New York park near you this month. It promises: "Acrobatic Economists, Fantastical Free-Falling Free Markets, Tenanacious Tenants, Querelous Quarks, Neurotic Neutrons, Vaulting Villains, Stupendous Stilters, Disco Dorothy, Lions and Tigers and Zebras Oh My!"
