Cirque du Soleil performers are heading to a Philadelphia library Monday, Nov. 9, for a free holiday storytime and acrobatic performance.<\/p>\n
The event begins at 1:15 p.m. at Parkway Central Library, where performers will read A Visit from St. Nicholas, the classic poem commonly known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The reading will be followed by a live acrobatic demonstration from the performers.<\/p>\n
The appearance will take place in the library’s Montgomery Auditorium at 1901 Vine St. It’s free and open to the public, with no tickets or registration required.<\/p>\n
