The Imperial OPA Circus is a modern circus headquartered and operated out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Founded in 2009 by Timothy Mack,[1] it currently contains a core company of 15 performers. In conjugation with its core philosophy, to be creative, to be inspirational, and to do good,[2] the Imperial OPA Circus performs at local events to benefit nonprofit organizations such as Wish for Wendy, which benefits those with cystic fibrosis,[3] and the Atlanta Hunger Walk, which benefits the Atlanta Community Food Bank.[4]
Their first performance was an Atlanta local fundraiser to supply the East Atlanta Village with recycling cans.[5][6] Their second performance, entitled "Cirque du Beaute", was on October 3, 2009 with Jyl Craven, a local hair studio.[7][8] This was a fundraiser for the St. Jude's Children's Hospital of Atlanta.
