The Give & Take Jugglers

We are thrilled to have The Give & Take Jugglers return to perform throughout Dulcimer Grove! Drawing from time honored traditions in the circus, vaudeville, and street theatre, The Give & Take Jugglers have brought their unique warmth and family-friendly humor to Dulcimer Grove for over 40 years. Founded in 1976, the "Best of Philly!" award-winning Give & Take Jugglers have enjoyed a tremendously successful career that has been passed down through the Give & Take family. Give & Take has appeared at thousands of fairs, festivals, and community events, as well as providing school assembly programs all along the east coast and around the world, being asked back year after year, sometimes 10, 20, even 30 years in a row. The Philadelphia Folk Festival crowns our list of long runs at 43 years. Founded by Dave Gillies, the Give & Take tradition has grown to include various elements of the circus including aerial acrobatics and tightwire walking. The troupe is being carried forward by husband and wife team Eric and Allison, who met in Dulcimer Grove in 2011!
