Palentines Day – Gothic Circus

Step out of the winter gray and into a world where glitter meets grit, romance takes a backseat, and pleasure – of every variety – sits firmly in the driver’s seat. Palentine’s Day is Southern Illinois’ decadent theatrical alternative to the usual February fluff: a dark circus celebration of self-love, friendship, sass, and spectacle. For one night only, we gather a hand-picked lineup of daring cabaret performers, sultry singers, variety artists, burlesque beauties, and circus oddities from across the region and beyond: each bringing their own brand of fire, flirtation, and fabulous chaos to the ring.
