“Prismagic is what happens when you open a box of treasure in your grandmother’s attic.”

-Sir Cupcake, Sir Cupcake’s Queer Circus

“Is it a cartoon? Yes. Is it sexy but not raunchy? Yes. Is it sweet and heartfelt? That’s the Prismagic brand.”

-Megan Skye Hale, The Steep & Thorny Way to Heaven Underground Club

In the summer of 2014 Petra Delarocha and Frank Brislawn dreamed up the idea to make a tiny stage called “Prismagic.” Hearkening back the era of coin-operated fortune telling machines, they created a beautiful vignette environment for passersby to experience. Rather than a mechanical box, Frank and Petra posed as statues that came to life to offer tarot readings and jewels for people to take home. Audiences had an immediate response to the presence of the statues. They were confused and impressed with the juxtaposition and detail in Frank and Petra's set-up and by the accuracy of the tarot readings. It made the couple wonder, how could they bring that special feeling to a greater audience? With Petra's experience in performance art and Frank's childlike wonder, it was easy for them to imagine "Prismagic" as a full-scale circus.

We feel that there is an unmet niche for an affectionate version of the circus. By means of storytelling though circus arts, we offer our audience a catalyst in connecting with themselves and others. Prismagic means building environments that blur high skill talent, surreal landscapes, and real life resonance. Our stories are carefully designed to reflect the good intentions of humanity, remembering that everyone in their own world is doing the best they can. Or as we like to say "everyone in their heart is a little kitty"

We create performance opportunities for phenomenal artists who have a desire to be in a production that takes care of them. Prismagic strives to deliver diverse casts, going the extra mile to create opportunities for people of color and queer performers. Our artists know that the work we are doing goes beyond simple entertainment, and that empowers them to create great works of art.

Prismagic makes an active effort to bring performances to marginalized communities and under-served neighborhoods. When we can’t offer our show for free, we have discounts and work trade for those who cannot afford full price. We believe that exposure to performance art can only have a positive effect on the community so we try and accommodate as many people as possible.
