Something Beautiful and Honest
:::::::::::Thursday June 23rd through Sunday June 26th.:::::::::::::::
LADY CIRCUS and BENJAMIN ICKIES present:
THIS AMBITIOUS SHOW
Over the past 4 years Lady Circus, has incessantly challenged itself and its audiences. We’ve put ourselves in danger, broken the law and a few hearts for the sake of your entertainment. Now we set out to create something pristine, beautiful and most importantly honest.
You arrive to New York City, your eyes are bright and your heart is young. You step outside of the train staton and are immediately crushed by the buildings, suffocated by the noise and swept up by the crowds. Panic swells up in your chest – you are utterly alone in a city of 8 million. You have no choice, you breathe it all in.
You trade comfort for chaos. You take unimaginable risks in the name of adventure. What was insane back home is now the norm. You let yourself fall irreversibly in love. You lock lips with the city and it tastes like a familiar poison. You commit to your addiction, letting it destroy everything you thought you were. One day you wake up and realize that you’re home. You have paid your dues and you finally belong in the city built for the fearless, the beautiful and the ambitious.
Set to the epic, sweeping tones of the 20-member This Ambitious Orchestra, Lady Circus flies through the air and dances across your table, enveloped in a story that is all too familiar to those who fought to be here.

Fuck Theater
In the age of the glamorous cirque-style spectacle, anarchy and rebellion are often forgotten. Tomorrow, we bring you the meat and the mayhem that circus is made of. Tomorrow we remind ourselves why we do this in the first place.

The New Oogle Review
There’s been a buzz in the air of late – the buzz of acoustic instruments played by wild eyed ruffians on the streets, subways, and dingy stages of this country. A virtual army of amazing musicians have taken the trains, roads and waterways to this fair city, and the smoggy air is now filled with delicious sounds of accordions, fiddles, washboards, and sweet sweaty harmonies. We give you this celebration of traveler music – The New Oogle Review*
With the old timey/klezmer/second line/ants-in-your-pants antics of The Vermont Joy Parade, the raw and virtuosic gypsy punk style of The Homeless People, the lush medieval “doom folk” of Ruche, the barrel house saloon crooning of the always amazing Mickey Western Band, the crazed abandon of Gumskirt, and the irrepressible New Orleans gumbo of Up, Up, We Go!
Surprises by the Lady Circus and pals, acting highly unprofessional.
9pm doors, 10 dollars.
