Cirque du Soleil - KOOZA, Under the Grand Chapiteau at Bayside Expo Center, Boston
Location: Under the Grand Chapiteau at Bayside Expo Center, 200 Mount Vernon St., Boston
Cirque du Soleil will return to Boston at a new location with its latest big top touring production KOOZA, set to open on Friday, September 5, 2008. KOOZA will perform at Bayside Expo Center under the trademark blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) for a limited engagement.

KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.

Performance Schedule:
• Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m.
• Thursdays thru Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
• Sundays at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!
The Nora Theatre Company speaks to the times with Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo’s work of politics and hilarity, We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!, playing at Central Square Theater Thursday, September 4 through Sunday, September 28. In the side-splitting satire written in 1974, the housewives have had enough… prices are high and getting higher and it’s time for them to take matters into their own hands, but the challenge is how to keep their husbands from finding out that they’ve stormed the supermarket! With stolen olives, bird seed, and pasta, this farcical comedy about a housewives’ revolt against out of control inflation looks at hypocrisy, injustice, and liberation with a healthy dose of hysterics thrown in for good measure. We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! is translated by Ron Jenkins and directed by The Nora’s Associate Director, Daniel Gidron (IRNE Award nominee - Best Director, Small Theater for The Nora’s production of Buried Child).
