The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus has been presenting classic American circus tradition with its own uniquely contemporary spin for over 20 years. Its hybrid of vaudeville, circus, comedy, burlesque, live original music, and sideshow has enthralled audiences across the United States and around the world.
“Brooklyn Abridged” is a highly stylized visual and aural journey through the beautiful borough of Brooklyn, where citizens, civil servants, and tourists alike showcase their individual artistry in the setting of some of the borough’s most iconic landmarks.
An all-new production, written, directed, and designed by David Gallo, each act of “Brooklyn Abridged” takes us on a personal adventure with a unique visual approach, as individual residents of the Borough of Kings magically seize opportunities to portray their personal stories.

Wheelchair Info
Although the building is unfortunately not ADA-compliant (it was built in the mid-1800s), the theater is on ground level and we have a secondary entrance that is wheelchair accessible (no steps). Look for the easternmost door of the building, with the small sign that says “Theater” over it. This door is usually locked, so you will need to request access from the front of house staff. -
