Become A Patron: How to Help Roustabout Grow
You Can Now Join the Circus Without Joining the Circus
We get a lot of messages that start the same way: "I wish I could support the gym, but..."
...I live three states away. ...my knees gave up on aerial a long time ago. ...I've got two kids and a mortgage and zero time to learn silks, but I love watching you all do it.
Fair enough. Not everyone who believes in what we're building is going to be hanging upside down from the ceiling on a Tuesday night, and honestly? That's okay. But we still wanted a way for those people to be part of this thing with us — so we built one.
Introducing the Patron Membership
The Patron Membership is a pay-what-you-can option, starting at just $5/month, for anyone who wants to support Roustabout without training here. No class access, no open gym, no prerequisites. Just you, backing a small, growing arts organization that believes in fair artist and coach pay, accessibility to the arts, and community-driven storytelling.
Here's what Patrons get:
$5 off tickets to Haywire Productions, Mechler Entertainment, and Roustabout shows
A discount on merch, once we launch it
One free piece of branded gear a year, once merch is available
A spot on our supporter list
It doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't matter if you've never set foot in a circus gym in your life. If you want in, you're in.
Not ready for a membership? We've got you.
If a monthly commitment isn't your thing, we also added a one-time support option — same idea, no recurring charge. Chip in once, help us keep the lights on and the rigs rigged, and go about your day.
Why we're doing this
Roustabout isn't backed by investors, a big corporate parent, or trust funds. We're a small studio built by people who believe Denver needs a new, better, stronger home for circus arts — one that pays its artists and coaches fairly, keeps training accessible, and tells stories worth showing up for. Growing that kind of place takes more than ticket sales and tuition. It takes a community willing to say, "I believe in this enough to help."
If that's you, welcome to the circus. You don't even need to stretch first.
