In The Secret Circus, when feelings have been outlawed, a gregarious rock-n-roll ringleader and their circus friends establish an underground Big Top where freedom and self-expression is welcomed. Step right up and experience tight rope walkers, jugglers, and dancing animal puppets channel their emotions into art, away from the clutches of the 'feelings police.'

This family-friendly show features original music by Chanel Samson and Holly Anne Mitchell . Samson says, 'this is the musical we needed as kids, but adults will find it equally as engaging on different levels.' The message is simple. What makes your inner child strange, makes you shine. And if you can't find the tribe where you belong, make one!

The Secret Circus has taken its extraordinary show around the world and Broadway World calls it 'campy, heartfelt and unabashedly earnest.' While Arts Review Hub says the Secret Circus 'inspires the audience - young and old - to dream and believe in better things: what a beautiful seed to sow.'

Nominate your favorite local productions and performers before the deadline on October 31, 2026.
