FAMILY
The Secret Circus Musical
Welcome to The Secret Circus, an ALL AGES musical about feeling your feelings with local circus performers and puppets!
When feelings have been outlawed, a gregarious rock-n-roll ringleader and their circus friends establish an underground Big Top, a place for freedom and self-expression that’s welcome to all identities—person or puppet.
Big feelings are safe under our Big Top where tight rope walkers, jugglers, and dancing ostriches channel their emotions into art, away from the clutches of the “feelings police.”
This family and LGBTQ-friendly show features original music with local human and puppet circus acts. Original Book, Music, and Lyrics by Chanel Samson and Holly Anne Mitchell. From the show’s creators: “This is the musical we needed as kids.” For adults too, The Secret Circus reminds the inner child that what makes you strange is what makes you shine; find the tribe where you belong, and if you can’t find one, make one.

"The best thing about THE SECRET CIRCUS is that it knows exactly what it is and commits without apology. Campy, heartfelt and unabashedly earnest" -Broadway World
"It is a gentle lesson about vulnerability and acceptance delivered through songs, puppets and plenty of silliness." -Onstage Colorado
