thecircusstories
A new project for circus performers

The CircusStories

You know that feeling โ€” overhearing the conversation at the next table, the one about money, casting, what really happened on that contract, and wishing you could lean in.

Lean in.
Coming this summer
What this is

We're building free resources, sharing career advice, and telling the behind-the-scenes stories that'll make you laugh, cry, and stay.

We've been talking to casting directors, agents, and performers who've been at it long enough to know. Plus a pay survey already at 1,200+ responses, with the tool and results coming later this year.
