Gaslighting: The Musical! (a circus of the mind)A Phase 2 Preview Performance
Step right up to the Narci-Circus! From award-winning Charlotte artist Brooke McCarthy comes a bold, dark solo-musical comedy about emotional manipulation, narcissistic charm, and reclaiming your voice after gaslighting.
Birdie the Ringmaster invites you inside her “circus of the mind,” where dazzling illusions, mischievous characters, original music, and theatrical spectacle collide. As the tricks unfold, reality bends, trust is tested, and the question lingers....who’s really in control?
This Phase 2 preview offers audiences an exclusive look at the next evolution of the show, featuring brand-new original songs, expanded magic and circus elements, and a growing Charlotte-based creative team supported by the City of Charlotte’s Creative Growth Grant. Plus, there will be a post-show talkback facilitated by the Safe Alliance.
