Shoestring Circus

Dreams can be strange, funny, frustrating, beautiful, and sometimes they tell us something we didn't know we needed to hear.

Dreams remind us that impossible things have to be imagined before they can become real. This show is our love letter to that feeling and the weird, wonderful place where anything can happen. 🎪

Thank you for the warm welcome, Seattle!

We've got 4 more shows for you! We are sold -out online but feel free to stop by the tent before a showtime for last minute seats that open up!

Or come catch us in beautiful Port Townsend for our season finale weekend, August 7-9!

A few weeks ago, this was an overgrown gravel lot.

Now after some elbow grease it's home to a vintage circus tent, and we open this Friday. It's been so much fun hearing from neighbors who've stopped by to tell us how excited they are to see this space come to life. We can't wait to welcome everyone under the big top.

Seattle is officially sold out! ❤️

If you missed tickets, join our waitlist in case online tickets become available. If you're local, you're also welcome to stop by the tent before your preferred showtime - we occasionally have last-minute ticket releases or no-shows!

And if you're up for a little road trip, our final weekend of the tour is in beautiful Port Townsend, Aug. 7–9.

See you at the circus!

Shout-out to Brothers Cascadia Brewing and Hazel Dell Commons, always such a treat to be in the neighborhood ❤️
