‘A PENNY SOUL NEVER CAME TO TWOPENCE’

We are a collaborative concoction of aerial dance, clowning, and physical theatre. Our nonprofit organization is fiercely dedicated to giving back to the community through original, artistic productions and workshops that are accessible to all. We were formed with the idea that any one person can come together with a group and create something magical. The phrase "a penny soul never came to twopence" means that extreme meanness or isolation never made anyone better off. We all have something to offer, we all have a "soul penny" to give, and we thrive in community.


"Our donation-based, original productions encourage inclusivity and cultivate curiosity while our school outreach programs work to connect students to the diverse world of the arts."

At the core of Soul Penny Circus lies a belief in the fundamental right of every individual to engage with and be enriched by the arts. Yet, this belief is tempered by a stark reality: many individuals, particularly underserved communities, lack the resources and opportunities to experience the beauty and wonder of artistic expression. Thus, our donation-based, original productions encourage inclusivity and cultivate curiosity while our school outreach programs work to connect students to the diverse world of the arts.


Through carefully crafted workshops, Soul Penny Circus brings the magic of the arts directly into the classrooms of local school districts, spanning the Greater Denver area and beyond. These workshops are not mere lessons in technique or theory; they are gateways to imagination, creativity, and self-expression. Whether it's teaching students the basics of juggling, the intricacies of storytelling, or the joy of improvisation, these workshops ignite a spark within each participant, showing them that the arts are not a luxury reserved for the privileged few, but a birthright belonging to all.
