Sky Candy Shows

Sky Candy shows are a big part of our overall company mission of “circus is for every body”.

In all of our performances, you’ll find our stage filled with diverse bodies ranging in size, age, ability, gender expression, racial background, and lived experiences. We are proud to offer a safety-minded, inclusive artistic outlet for folks from many backgrounds to share the same stage and tell their stories through aerial and circus arts. With shows and showcase themes ranging from the deeply profound to the deeply silly (and sometimes things that combine the two), we welcome audiences to run away and join us in this adventure!

  • postponed: Dungeons & Drag Show

    Saturday, July 5, 2025

    Due to the flooding in and around Austin, we will be rescheduling tonight's show.⁠ ⁠ The safety of our performers, crew, and audience is our priority. With the extension of the flash flood warning, the devastating flooding in areas near Austin, and the flooding of some Austin roads we feel it is best to reschedule the show for August.⁠ ⁠ We are surveying our performers and crew for a new show date and will post in all of the places as soon as we have landed on a new option. ⁠ ⁠ Thank you for your understanding and stay safe, everyone!

  • Legend of the Realms

    Last Friday of Every Month (March - October)

    Legend of the Realms is not just a performance competition; it’s a battle cry for creators, dreamers, and revolutionaries to rise, unite, and reclaim the power of their voices. This is where fantasy meets defiance, performance becomes protest, and art fuels liberation.

    Brought to life by: Amazing Aeffects in collaboration with Sky Candy, Illumine Wellness, Shea Butter Babies Productions, LOVE Tai Enterprises, and BOOM Immersive.

    Join the Revolution

2024/25 Season

  • Twilight, February 15, 2025 - While the Twilight saga is canonically heterosexual story, it has been embraced by the LGBTQIA+ community (in part thanks to out and proud lead, Kristen Stewart) as a “gay allegory”. We’re excited to be part of this story’s queer renaissance and reimagining, bringing sparkly vampires, critiques of late-stage capitalism, and overcoming repression and oppression to the air - a perfect show for Valentine’s Day!

  • Dungeons & Drag Show, July 5, 2025 - Join our Game Master/host as they lead our performers through a world of magic, mythical beasts, and an ever-evolving, partially scripted, partially improvised aerial and circus show that can go almost anywhere depending on the luck of the D20.

  • Jurrasic Parque, October 18, 2025 - In the grand tradition of doing un-hinged aerial adaptations of pop culture icons, we are excited to bring you our dramatic, high flying, high brow take on the 90s classic Jurrasic Park, in the style of a Cirque du Soleil show. Yes, we also have no idea what we’re doing and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Student Showcases

  • Your Favorite Sin: Angst, February 14, 2025 - Everyone’s favorite 18+ student showcase returns just in time for Valentine’s Day to celebrate our favorite sin of the season - angst. Set to a soundtrack of emo, pop-punk, and indie grunge, our students will get into their feels and leave it all on the stage for you!

  • Our Flag Means Pride, July 3, 2025 - A play off of the name of a wildly popular modern show, Our Flag Means Death, our pride month showcase encourages students to take take inspiration from pirates, tender queer love stories, and their own queer identities as a starting point for creating new acts.

  • Creature Feature, October 17, 2025 - From horror movie villains to mythological beasts to modern cryptids, we invite our students to create works with silly and serious takes on what it means to be a monster.

Sky Candy’s 2024/25 season is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
