ABOUT: Sir Cupcake, always running late, tries to use his magic pocket-watch to make it to his show on time but finds himself and his queer circus back in the 1930s instead. Luckily, they are just in time for his ancestor’s, queer singer ER Martin’s, own show! Circus queers past and present join together for a once in a lifetime performance with aerialists, acrobats, clowns, burlesque, and more. Neighboring acrobatic couples find love across the fence, a magician’s assistant gets her revenge, a handsome marathon swimmer finally finds true love and ER Martin gets a life changing telegram. Featuring cupcakes (of course!) and special guest performances by renowned burlesque artist Pidgeon von Tramp (Seattle), poetic duo trapeze by Megan Gendell and Lauren Feldman (Philadelphia) and world traveling hand balancers Brittany Walsh (May 8) and Megan Gendell (May 9th). Sir Cupcake’s Queer Circus celebrates queer and trans identities with storytelling and performances by queer and trans people and their allies.
