Join the Boston Circus Guild for Cirque of the Dead, a theatrical Halloween circus spectacular!

This year, our show follows the Cirque of the Dead Historical Society as they bring to life the eerie and captivating world of the 1920s spiritualist movement. Immerse yourself in a chilling tale that has been 100 years in the making as you’re transported to an era when psychic mediums, seances, and a fervent belief in the spirit world captivated the public imagination! However, not everyone was convinced by the supernatural phenomena, and a group of intrepid scientists embarked on a quest to uncover the truth. Will they finally prove or disprove the existence of the occult?

Join the Cirque of the Dead Historical Society as they resurrect fantastical and frightening details previously lost to history. Expect to be thrilled and perhaps even a little unnerved as the performers delve into the unknown, revealing secrets that were meant to remain buried.

Enjoy an incredible view of circus performers suspended above you and sinister, otherworldly beings lurking all around the venue. The action happens on all sides, and every spot in the theater is a unique experience!
