Doors open at 6:30pm; show begins at 7:00pm

Although we've come to New York City for spectacles by Cirque du Soleil, who says we can't take in a musical on Broadway too? Therefore, we've dedicated this night to be our night on the Great White Way, so please enjoy its various theatrical and musical offerings. Do whatever interests you; the night is yours! The CirqueCon staff will be seeing Disney's THE LION KING at Minskoff Theatre near Times's Square, which you're very welcome to join us for - who knows who we might meet tonight! Contact the theater box office directly to purchase tickets!

We're opening up our registration table a little early so patrons can mix and mingle at our Meet & Greet without worry - come by and pick up your programme book, badge, and/or T-Shirts! You'll find us within the lobby of On the Ave, so come by and see us!

Begin the day by meeting us and your fellow Cirque Passionates before we set you lose on Manhattan and its environs at our Meet & Greet. There'll be plenty of room to spread out and chat, so come on by and pick up your programme book, badge, and/or T-Shirts!

Doors open at 7:30pm; show begins at 8:00pm

Then join us at Randal's Island for our first Cirque du Soleil group show of the event: OVO, an immersion into the teeming and energetic world of insects!

Cirque du Soleil has invitied us to stay in our seats following our evening performance to get a chance to ask some of the cast and crew a few of our most burning and pressing questions! Stick around to meet the creepy crawlies of OVO!

If you've still not picked up your packet, badge or other goodies, come by and see us before we walk down to the Beacon Theatre for our special Cirque Activities with the BANANA SHPEEL cast and crew! We'll be hanging out in the lobby of On the Ave!

Mr. Schmelkey of Schmelkey Productions has invited the CirqueCon Group to his theatre to witness last-minute rehearsals for BANANA SHPEEL before tonight's performance! We'll also get a chance to speak with a member of the creative team.

Billed as a charming neighborhood restaurant on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, they're commitment to serving the finest ales and lagers available is unmatched. Not to mention a fine selection of foods one comes to expect from a great ale house. And at 76th Street and Amsterdam Avenue - it's just a couple of blocks from ON THE AVE, our Headquarters Hotel and from the Beacon Theater where we'll assemble for BANANA SHPEEL following dinner!

Doors open at 7:30pm; Show begins at 8:00pm

After filling our tummies with scrumptious foods from one of New York's best restaurants, join us then for our second circus excursion, Cirque du Soleil's BANANA SHPEEL, a new twist on Vaudeville - Cirque style. It is a theatrical mix of comedy and dance you won't want to miss!

Make the trek because we're transferring our event flag to Montréal for the remainder of our time. There's more Cirquein' to do!

Now that we're in Montréal - with TOTEM dark to the public tonight (unless you purchase a special ONE DROP ticket) - we'd love to see you! CirqueCon is holding a "Welcome to Montréal" Cocktail Party out of our joining hotel suites at the Marriott Spring Hill to welcome all Passionates to our second home - among the quays of the Old Port. Please come mix and mingle!

Come by Ricky's Room at SpringHill Suites in the morning to pick up your tickets and other CirqueCon goodies if you've not yet done so. Because we're not yet sure when the Cirque activities may occur, a time has not yet been set. We'll let you know during the Meet & Greet the following evening.

Cirque du Soleil, having heard that CirqueCon is coming to town, is working hard for a grand Cirquey welcome. Just what they have planned for us is being kept behind the curtain at this time, but it's sure to be great! Make sure you keep your calendar clear!

One of the highlights of CirqueCon is when Cirque fans gather at a local eating establishment, enjoying a meal and getting acquainted (or re-acquainted) with each other. Passionates who joined us for CirqueCon 2005 may remember the Restaurant du Vieux Port, a wonderful historical restaurant situated in the heart of the Old Port of Montréal and just a few moments walk to/from the Grand Chapiteau perched on the Quays at the waterfront. We loved them so much we're heading back!

Doors open at 7:30pm; Show begins 8:00pm

TOTEM traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly. The characters evolve on a stage evoking a giant turtle, the symbol of origin for many ancient civilizations. Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species. Somewhere between science and legend TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.

On Sunday morning, join us once again in our hotel rooms for the Kaffeeklatsch - an impromptu get-together to give us your thoughts about the weekend. Come have a cup of coffee or tea and let us know how we did and what can be improved for our next adventure: CirqueCon 2011: Hollywood! Or, just stop by to say goodbye!
