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!

2025/26 Season

  • No One Mourns the Wicked. December 12, 2025 - Just in time for the release of the second installment of the Wicked movie, we're celebrating the cultural moment that is Ariana Grande and Cythia Erivo's BFF-dom as told through the story of Glinda and Elphaba.

  • FanFic #enemiestolovers, February 8, 2026 - In our continuing tradition of taking our dumb ideas and making them real, we are inviting professional performers and guests to do their take on wildly popular genre of fan fiction -- doing retellings of their favorite stories, but with like more making out.

  • The Rain Whorest Cafe, June 6, 2026 - The chemicals in the water are turning the friggin frogs gay! Birds aren't real - the government replaced them with spy drones! There are no gay animals (at least if you believe scientific papers). One might say the show theme is really just queer animals, but we would not turn down a little dash of making fun of some of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories out there.

  • Buffy Lives!, October 17, 2026 - Sometime in 2026, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting rebooted and we could not resist reviving the only show we have ever FULLY sold out two full performances IN ADVANCE. This time, we invite performers to do acts celebrating their favorite things from the classic 90s series - and not just from the musical episode! This show is part of Vampire Weekend: The Weekend, our bloodthirsty weekend of shows!
