About this project

THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND THE FLEAS ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! 

All it takes is a few courageous, forward thinking friends to help turn the tide!  If you have ever rooted for the underdog now is the time.  Imagine fighting the odds of an infamous reputation as vermin along with a multimillion dollar industry dedicated to your extinction, and of course, the Plague.  If this doesn't qualify for underdog status...

All these dedicated little performers are asking for is a chance to bring a little light and humor into the world.

HELP FREE THE FLEAS!  DON'T MAKE US COME BEGGING AT YOUR DOOR!

Performing for the heads of elite aristocracy or entertaining the urban underbelly, the Professor's merry band has confounded the accepted norms of science and common sense.

Come on, scratch the itch...you know you want to.  We're just itching to make your acquaintance!

Part Humbug...part whimsy...all true (or is it?).  Don't miss your opportunity to experience the Stufenfedder's Traveling Lyceum and Flea Circus.

Your generous support will help provide a theater space for the world premiere of the Stufenfedder Traveling Lyceum and Flea Circus during the cold winter months.

FAQ

  • To this there can be only one answer. Yes, fleas are real!  In fact, there are over 2500 species of flea. The Pulex Irritans, human flea, is by far the best to train for a circus. Unfortunately, in this day of bathing and personal hygiene they are becoming an endangered species.
