STEP RIGHT UP! STEP RIGHT UP TO THE ORB THEATER!
A Moonlit Menagerie of Music, Mischief, Drama, and Delight
Ladies! Gentlemen! And anyone between or beyond!
Revelers, rogues, poets, woodland spirits, and pleasure-seekers of every conceivable persuasion!
Gather beneath the branches and prepare your senses for THE ORB THEATER : a spectacular sylvan cavalcade of melody, movement, mirth, mystery, and magnificent theatrical nonsense!
Hidden deep within the woods, where lanterns flicker and treehouses sway upon their mighty supporting limbs, an astonishing assortment of entertainers shall assemble for your wonderment:
Musical marvels!
Burlesque beauties and bawdy bravura!
Shakespearean drama!
Strange diversions, unexpected spectacles, and sundry feats too peculiar to advertise accurately!
This year marks the THIRTEENTH LIMBSNAPPING, our long-celebrated woodland revel named in honor of the noble tree limbs that hold our lofty houses above the forest floor.
Thirteen gatherings! Thirteen glorious descents into merriment! And for this auspicious occasion, the forest shall be transformed into The Orb Theater! An oculus built for performance, pageantry, and pleasurable bewilderment.
Come dressed for enchantment.
Come prepared for astonishment.
Come ready to dance beneath the leaves and surrender yourself to the strange magnetic influence of THE ORB!
TWO NIGHTS! DEEP IN THE WOODS!
THE THIRTEENTH LIMBSNAPPING
