Welcome to The Secret Circus! 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, animal, or marionette.
Big feelings are safe under Bob Baker’s 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 live band GOOF, with both human and marionette circus acts. Original Book, Music, and Lyrics by Chanel Samson and Holly Anne Mitchell, featuring Bob Baker’s legendary marionettes. From the show’s creators: “This is the musical we needed as kids.” For adults too, The Secret Circus reminds the inner child what makes you strange is what makes you shine; find the tribe where you belong, and if you can’t find one, make one.
With ONLY two performances of The Secret Circus throughout the summer at BBMT, don’t miss your chance to see this one-of-a-kind musical! Arrive early at 7 PM to enjoy pre-show delights with talented circus folks entertaining guests!
