SEEKING ACTS
The Bindlestiff Family has a couple of positions open for the 1999 season.
We are a small troupe that performs in many types and sizes of venues all

with traditional acts with a bit of a twist. The Show is usually for adults
only--though there will be occassional all-ages performances. We are
looking for individuals with at least two acts: sideshow stunts, single
trapeze, gender-bending clowns, novelty acts, rope walkers, contortionists,
western acts, jugglers, acrobats, etc.
