Lake Michigan College Mendel Center

Gravity-defying acrobatics meet theatrical ingenuity when Cirque Mechanics returns to the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center with their spectacular new production. Be transported into the whimsical world of "Tilt! A Circus Thrill Ride" – an awe-inspiring celebration of mechanical marvels and human artistry that re-imagines the thrills and wonder of an amusement park.

In Tilt!, Cirque Mechanics takes you on a journey to the backlot of their inventive theme park, where in the shadow of the roller coaster and under the lights of the Ferris wheel, you’ll meet the operators, carnies, and characters that keep the rides running and the thrills coming.

Please note that we have returned to a traditional seating configuration in the Stage Side section (previous called Club Mendel). Tables are no longer part of this seating plan.

In celebration of our community's love for the arts, generous underwriting from the Gast Young People's Performance Endowment and Premiere Partners allows us to offer tickets starting at the special price of $10 plus service fee for this performance.
