Freedom for a Night is a fun, female-empowering circus stage play featuring aerial, spoken word, song, and dance. The iconic "dangerous" women of Greek mythology take center stage to reclaim their stories, rewrite their myths, and challenge the systems that silenced them.

The show comes to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival after a successful Off-Off Broadway production featuring New York City's finest circus artists, the show is written by Caytha Jentis and directed/choreographed by Maia Ramnath.
