The Fox & Beggar Theater tells stories for both grown-up and not-yet-grown-up audiences. Productions explore the spaces between street theatre, dance, circus arts and acrobatics, mask-and-puppet theatre, operetta, and illustration. The FBT has recently moved to Minneapolis, MN, and is a sponsored project of Springboard For The Arts' Incubator Program. Of course, the open road will always beckon.

​

In 2020, the FBT received a grant to build the Gonzago, a traveling double-decker solar-powered pop-up Vaudeville theatre, which embarked on its first tour in 2021 around the Great Lakes region. Atop the Gonzago, the FBT's "Goodnight, Absalom!" performed for over 1,500 audience members over the course of fourteen free, all-ages shows held in public parks, organic farms, and community spaces.

​

Our mission is to bring provocative, innovative, and enchanting storytelling to a troubled world, through a broad fusion of both performing and visual arts.
