An original all ages musical
Shhh...tell everyone!
synopsis
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 welcoming all identities—person, animal, or marionette.
This family and LGBTQ-friendly show features LIVE MUSIC, CIRCUS PERFORMERS, AND LOCAL PUPPET THEATERS. Original Book, Music, and Lyrics by
Chanel Samson and Holly Anne Mitchell.
This traveling circus is touring WORLDWIRDE 2026 bringing joy, hope, and community to all!
Reviews
"The best thing about THE SECRET CIRCUS is that it knows exactly what it is and commits without apology.
Campy, heartfelt and unabashedly earnest"
"It is a gentle lesson about vulnerability and acceptance delivered through songs, puppets and plenty of silliness."
