On The Road with Sigmon Theatrical | From Dream to Reality
The Magic Thrives From Within.
From an imaginative child to a showstopping Creative Director, Caleb Sigmon thrills audiences across the United States. Caleb began making magic from an early age, while searching deeper for the wonders that are yet to be discovered. Magic was a discovery for Caleb that opened many doors to which he is now able to serve thousands of audience members. Reaching beyond the concept of magic, the idea was to combine his creative mind to his ever-growing imaginative spirit. Telling stories gave Caleb the ability to find connection with other people and to feel confident in himself. As a young imaginative child, Caleb found inspiration in his favorite childhood movies. He started reinacting his own scenes in his bedroom using anything he could find. Cardboard boxes, cupboards, chairs, beds, and sheets soon became the tools he would use to assemble stories.
A Child That Never Grows Up
Eventually, Caleb knew he could seek out a life that revolved around similar characteristics of being a creative child. Senior year of high school was different for Caleb compared to many. He found his home settled in at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he learned the fundamentals of what would become his career. Studying drama in a high school/college setting was different for Caleb, but it provided him with an opportunity to master the skills to create and tell stories.

Katy’s Unparalleled Rise to Designer
Katy began her studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where she earned her degree in civil engineering. While in her time of study, she realized this path was not for her. Becoming a project manager was Katy’s foreseeable future until the moment that entertainment design became her calling. Dancing was Katy’s choice of expression growing up, and it serves her even today.
A Dynamic Duo Becomes The Next Superpower
Caleb surprised Katy with a proposal during a live magic show. After countless years of knowing each other and crossing paths, the two decided to make their life together, official. Katy was completely shocked to find Caleb standing center stage calling out for her. The entire crew understood what was about to happen, but the secret was kept alive.
Caleb and Katy decided to team together to build the next extraordinary, professional theatre company. As stated on their website, “[t]hrough our unique, interactive, immersive storytelling, we create memorable experiences that audiences will cherish for a lifetime. We guarantee it.” (Sigmon Theatrical). Although interactive, immersive entertainment was not a new concept created by them, they both saw an opportunity to bring this style of theatre to audiences anywhere. From the sides of mountains to walking down parade routes, the Sigmon’s bring characters and stories to life in an innovative way that enlightens audiences of all ages.
