Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® is roaring into town with Barnum’s FUNundrumSM, a celebration of P. T. Barnum so big, it is an event 200 years in the making! From the moment guests arrive, the momentum explodes as The Greatest Show On Earth® comes to life in a way that can only be inspired by the greatest showman who ever lived. At Barnum’s FUNundrum, the funtastic and funbelieveable experience answers the conundrum. Get your tickets today before this train leaves the station!
Hop aboard and go on an unbelievable excursion that brings together performers and characters from exotic countries all over the world - even from places for which there are no geographic borders. Thrill-seekers may pay for the entire seat, but will only need its edge as a rip-roaring motorcycle troupe braves fear and physics in the 16-foot Spherical Miracle. Height-seeking high-wire artists perform 40 feet in the air, all while at a 45 degree angle. Masters of Musculature use their bodies in the ultimate test to see how far the human body can be pushed in a mind-blowing world of distortion and contortion. Just as the Ringling Bros.® train keeps traveling from city to city, Barnum’s FUNundrum keeps the energy going As each extraordinary act blends thrills and contemporary spectacle to overdeliver a heart-racing experience that, until now, was beyond imagination! Beginning 90 minutes before show time, families can get up close with some of their favorite animal performers in the free Animal Open House. And then, starting one hour before the show, guests can join Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College® on the arena floor for the All Access Pre-show, free to all ticket holders.

Around the World in 80 Days presented by Triad Stage
Organization: Triad Stage
A Comic Adventure by Mark Brown
adapted from the novel by Jules Verne
Extended! February 7 – March 7, 2010
It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Jules Verne's classic tale springs to life in this clever, fast-paced comedy for the whole family. Proper gentleman Phileas Fogg strikes a wager and sets off on a race that puts his fortune and life at risk. With his faithful servant at his side, he has just 80 days to circle the globe–an inconceivable feat in the year 1872! Fierce natives, furious typhoons, runaway trains, a damsel in distress and a dogged detective threaten to delay him at every step in this delightful, whirlwind odyssey that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to unexpected end.
Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes (with one intermission)
Due to the running time, this production is not recommended for children under the age of 6.
“Action and hilarity to spare.”
