LA'S PREMIERE CIRCUS DINNER THEATER

For years, Director Sarah Bryce Mann had been sitting on the idea of creating a Circus Dinner Experience in Los Angeles. The business was officially launched in August 2022 and opened to the public in October 2023 with 4 shows of "Van Helsing's Dracula" at Vatican Banquet Hall in Van Nuys.

Madmann's Playground currently presents pop up experiences throughout the Los Angeles area, with the goal of opening open a brick and mortar venue, where dinner shows will take place weekly Thursday through Sunday. Once in its permanent home, Madmann's Playground will produce a new show every 4 months, with a matching culinary menu. Each production is a collaboration between the Company Director Mann, the writer(s), the composer(s), the circus performer(s)/actor(s), and the chef(s).

Madmann's Playground is a company where everyone's voice matters and is heard. Mann opened Madmann's Playground as a home for LA's talented circus community, as well as to provide an outlet for all of LA's performing artists to come together and create.

"Van Helsing's Dracula is absolutely one of the most extraordinary and enjoyable evenings of

theatre I have ever had. In Los Angeles or anywhere. This is the beginning of a movement that

Sarah Mann and her Madmann's Playground production company intend to create. A place for

artists like these to perform timeless and inspiring stories with their words and their music and

their bodies."
