Circus with a Mission: Degy Entertainment Signs Freedom Circus

Touring production brings modular circus programming, live spectacle, and on-site learning opportunities to communities worldwide

JULY 30, 2025 Degy Entertainment proudly announces the signing and international release of Freedom Circus, a one-of-a-kind, family-focused touring circus concept developed by Steven Burchard at Magical Memories Entertainment. Blending traditional circus arts with community engagement and youth education, the Freedom Circus delivers a customizable experience that tours globally to serve military installations, colleges, festivals, and community events.

Freedom Circus was piloted across multiple Independence Day celebrations in Micronesia for U.S. military service members and their families.  The event is now officially available for booking through Degy Entertainment for the 2025–2026 season.

More than just a show, Freedom Circus is a scalable and customizable touring circus that teaches. At every stop, the cast of professional performers can deliver high-impact performances and offer on-site circus arts workshops for youth and teen groups. These hands-on masterclasses provide learning outcomes in coordination, communication, teamwork, and confidence-building. Whether it’s for a school, a base youth center, or a local recreation program, the educational component creates meaningful skill-building opportunities alongside the entertainment.

"I don’t know if Steven ever set out to be a modern-day PT Barnum, but he definitely carries the same spirit. His creativity, his willingness to take risks, and the way he sees big ideas all line up," said Ari Nisman, President and CEO of Degy Entertainment. "Freedom Circus is his vision brought to life, and I’m just glad Degy could help make it real. It’s the kind of project that’s going to inspire, entertain, and stick with people long after the show ends."

Freedom Circus includes:

  • Full-scale touring circus shows ranging from 45 to 90 minutes featuring emcees, acrobatics, comedy, and customizable acts
  • Solo performances ideal for smaller venues, schools, or pop-ups
  • Walk-around performers such as stilt walkers, magicians, jugglers, and character greeters for atmospheric engagement
  • Educational workshops and masterclasses designed for youth and teens, led by circus professionals, teaching juggling, balancing, clowning, and other skills

“Freedom Circus was built to bring wonder to communities, but also to leave something behind,” said Steven Burchard, founder of Magical Memories Entertainment. “We’re not just here to entertain, we’re here to help kids learn something new, try something they’ve never done before, and feel like they’re part of something big. That’s the magic.”

The show is fully scalable and can be presented indoors, outdoors, on stages, or at ground level. All performances are supported by full production specs, experienced touring staff, and flexible routing options for military installations, colleges, and community events.
