Started by the unstoppable compulsion of two best friends Anya Sapozhnikova and Kae Burke, and fueled by an urge to create not just beautiful, quality entertainment, but potent, and powerful productions Lady Circus combines elements of circus and burlesque to continuously create bigger and better spectacles then before, and has allowed LC to flourish into a force that New York City nightlife simply cannot live without. The creators of LC never forget that circus and performance is not just about the show but also about the family and community that make it possible. They hold very dear that event production and entertainment is first and foremost about human celebration.
