FLOTSAM RIVER CIRCUS
My main project these days is a floating performance troupe called Flotsam. Each year we travel a different waterway on a ramshackle raft, giving free shows for audiences in all of the towns along our way.

2026 PRE-TOUR BENEFIT SHOWS:
A few members of the Flotsam crew are doing a run of small landlocked shows to raise awareness and money for this year's tour. More info here:

June 10 - Chicago - The Quality Knob
June 11 - Peoria Heights - The Space at 1208
June 12 - Alton - The Conservatory
June 13 - St. Louis - Circus Flora (Vip Tent)
