The Ghostly Circus is now a nonprofit program!

Ghostly Circus CultureTrust of Greater Philadelphia produces and performs site-specific stunt theatrics that connect the past with the present while inspiring the future of what art can accomplish.

The Ghostly Circus is site-specific theatrical platform for artists to build their acts encompassing the spirits of historic landmarks as a stage. This unique, other-worldly show features a variety of talents including contemporary circus arts, sideshow, dance, and theatrics with live music and a dancing afterparty. Featuring talented performers, unique costume creations, immersive adventures and design curation, 7textures has produced Ghostly Circus since 2014, and the project has expanded to be a nonprofit as Ghostly Circus CultureTrust of Greater Philadelphia, in 2021.

CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia provides a charitable home and affordable shared management resources for arts and heritage programs of diverse disciplines and cultural traditions.” Ghostly Circus is a program of CultureTrust, directed by Lauren Raske of 7textures.
