Our Mission

This original production was born out of the pandemic when we had to pivot from live performances to a virtual format—a blessing in disguise that evolved into the show we have today. 
All of this is presented at an extremely reasonable rate. Proceeds from ticket sales will go directly towards renovating A Red Circle's community art spaceThe Creative Spot in Ferguson, MO, allowing us to continue providing vital arts and healing experiences to the community. We also seek donations to help offset costs and keep ticket prices at a minimum.
