Ladies and Gentlemen, Punks of all ages…Welcome to Punk & Pie Circus! What started as a playful blend of juggle-drumming, video production, and branding has evolved into my more energized experiment in interdisciplinary art.
​
My performance specialties include circus arts, percussion, and theatre. Punk that I am, I refuse to choose between them. So I look for ways to combine multiple performance arts into one, cohesive project at a time. My ideal partners are organizations that support artists through dynamic events, exhibitions, or film projects.
The Digital Marketing Circus
Circus is a fast-paced, flashy, highly disciplined spectacle devoted to inspiring audiences - so much so that the audience keeps coming back for more. So it’s pretty much like marketing.
​
I'm not just putting on a show here. I’m demonstrating how the creative thinking intrinsic to the arts serves the causes of anyone committed to growth - intellectual growth, emotional growth, economic growth.
​
I say it often: “Neither science nor the arts can solve all our problems. But what they can do is offer us a different way of seeing the world and the people in it.” Side note: I’m a science nerd, too.
​
This sensibility is critical to anyone wanting to thrive in any era. Therefore, the content here positions creative expression alongside digital marketing and business insights. The end goal is multidimensional thinking for artists and their collaborators that, in turn, yields innovative solutions and sustainable communities.
​My Mission: Make content that works and cirques.
I create interdisciplinary performances and write about it. Whether they’re live on stage or on film, these projects are fueled by my appetite for artistry and entrepreneurship as well as my devotion to my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Step inside only if you fancy content that would put a WTF look on your grouchy neighbor's face...
My name is Lindsay Surmacz, and I want to be many things when I grow up. A picture of my career, thus far, is more like a mosaic comprising a deep background in music and theatre, a degree in creative writing, work in digital marketing and media, more than a decade spent in informal science education, and a dream of being a circus performer.
