Circus & Theatre
ROTHBURY's commitment to the performing arts and theatrical culture expands in revelation and exploration of 21st century circus and theatre.
At ROTHBURY, the show comes off the stage and engages more than a few of your senses - the run-in with a busker, a formal affair in the lounge of The Establishment, an unexpected aerial performance in the tree tops...
You won't be able to miss it - Circus and Theatre are integrated into the fabric of the ROTHBURY community.
Rothbury Think Tank
The ROTHBURY Think Tank will host a mix of provocative keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops, film screenings, and audience Q&A sessions throughout the festival site to offer insight into these and other questions. Interactive participation, both face-to-face and through the use of multi-media technology enable the ROTHBURY community to engage with the Think Tank at multiple levels.

Let's face it: Concerts aren't typically what you would consider eco-friendly. From the gasoline used to transport truckloads of gear between tour stops to the beer cups and flyers that litter the ground at a concert's end, the only "green" usually associated with the concert experience is that funny smell wafting from the guy behind you during the show's climactic guitar solo. This summer's inaugural Rothbury festival, July 3-6 at the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Mich., is aiming to change that.
