Support Lighthouse Circus Theatre's Show "Between"

Donation protected
Hello!

"Between" is a gripping acrobatic dance theatre show which will give you an opportunity to reflect on where you are on your journey: where you started, where you are going, and all the things that happen and people you meet in between.

We are Lighthouse Circus Theatre, an award-winning San Diego-based artistic movement company dedicated to bringing art to the community. We are requesting donations to help produce our new show "Between," which will premiere on April 11-13th, 2025 at the City Heights Performance Annex.

About the Project:
Strings can be metaphorical or physical, used as instruments, visual art, or a tool, all of which will be weaved into the show. From being “high strung” to “becoming unstrung,” to being “strung along,” “strung together,” or imperceptibly tied to others, “strings” represent relationships with ourselves and between others. Our show "Between" reflects and explores these possibilities through acrobatic dance theatre. The show consists of two stand-alone pieces: one which explores the metaphorical strings between people while the other piece explores the strings in the mind. "Between" is also an opportunity for us to revisit older work by the company and give it new life. In this show, you will see concepts from our previous shows restaged and reimagined as well as brand new ideas explored onstage. We hope "Between" will give you an opportunity to reflect on where you are on your journey: where you started, where you are going, and all the things that happen and people you meet in between.

About the Company:
For every moment of struggle in this world, there are also moments of hope and joy. Lighthouse Circus Theatre is an award-winning company based in San Diego that strives to create those inspiring moments. This small company collaborates to create shows highlighting various facets of the human experience. Our mission is often accomplished by producing circus and dance shows which tell stories, often about mental health and human connections, but always about hope.

What you are funding:
By donating to this GoFundMe, you will be bringing "Between" to San Diego audiences. You will be helping Lighthouse Circus cover costs including venue rental, performance pay, marketing costs, and costuming. Our community has already backed our vision: The William Male Foundation has granted us with the funds to pay our artists for rehearsals. The NTC Foundation has also backed this project by providing rehearsal space through the Emerging Artists program, where Lexii Regina (our director) is a resident through June 2025. Our community backs our vision, but we still need you. Your donation will ensure we can keep ticket prices as low as possible to make the show accessible to the community. In this tumultuous time, your donation will help our company share stories of hope and connection with our communities through healing art.
