Natural Causes: A Labor Day Weekend Circus Adventure at Hangar Theatre in Ithaca

On Labor Day weekend, Ithaca's Hangar Theatre hosts something completely unexpected: a professional circus. Company29 brings Natural Causes — a whimsical, wild adventure built from world-class acrobatics, live music, and comedy — to the stage by Cayuga Lake. The premise is delightfully absurd: what happens when you keep searching deeper into the woods, even after the woods tell you to stop? The answer involves some of the finest circus artists in the country, plus youth performers from across the US opening the show.

Date: Saturday, September 5, 2026 Time: 4:00 PM Location: Hangar Theatre, 801 Taughannock Blvd, Ithaca, NY Cost: Check hangartheatre.org for tickets
