Win it Wednesday: Tickets to "Traces" at the Merriam Theater!

August 31, 2011

Have you heard about the show Traces coming to town next month at the Merriam Theater? I am so excited for this show, and can’t wait for my husband and I to have a date night to experience this unique, modern performance.


Traces is high-energy urban acrobatics for all ages from 7 Fingers, a Montreal-based circus arts company founded with the goal to present circus on a human scale. Circus feats combine with skateboarding and mix with theater, music, and contemporary dance. Traces celebrates the individuals on stage, their bond and talents; their risk-taking; and their unbridled energy.




The show will run from September 15-18 at the Merriam Theater on Broad Street in Center City Philadelphia. For ticketing, please see the Live Arts/Philly Fringe website. Tickets for adults range from $20-$55 and are half-price for audiences 17-and-younger.


Check out the show’s trailer and you’ll see what all of the buzz is about!





Now let’s talk about the Giveaway!

Philly Burb Moms are thrilled to be giving away two pairs of tickets to the Saturday, September 17, 2pm matinee performance.



If you are interested in seeing this specific performance, all you need to do is fill out this simple form and you’ll be entered to win one of two sets of tickets. The contest will run from today, Wednesday August 31 through Monday September 5th at 11:59pm. One entry per person only. All duplicate entries will be deleted. Winners will be notified via email on Tuesday September 6th and will have 24 hours to confirm their acceptance of the tickets.


Good luck!
