The End Times Cabaret presents “THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED.”

House of Yes is taking the show on the road, all the way to The Bell House…in GOWANUS Brooklyn! Follow us across the borough, and we will take you on an entertaining journey into the good ol times…the 1960′s!

The Day the Music Died will entertain your socks off, with a ferocious live brass band, stunning aerial acrobatics and hilarious dance numbers, showcasing the social/political/popular culture changes that occurred between 1958-1961. This was a transition time of Housewives to liberated women, doo wop to freak out jazz, politeness to protest, innocence to innovation. It was the birth of birth control, the beginning of “cool”, the end of post-war america.

Inspired by the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper on what became known as “The Day the Music Died,” this special evening features performances by songwriter and arranger Phil Andrews of Apocalypse Five & Dime, the awe-inspiring aerial and burlesque performers of The Lady Circus such as Anya Sapozhnikova, Kenneth Stephen Neil, Brian Joseph Ferree, Rebecca Heinegg, Evgenia Radilova, Kathryne Van Assche, Ashley Morgan Monroe, Juanita Cardenas, Eric Schmalenberger, transcendent vocalist XAVIER, dynamic dance troupe “The Good to Go Girls,” and many more. Spread the word!

:::::::POLITICAL VARIETY SHOW CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS!!!! THURSDAY, JANUARY 19th!:::::::

More often then not, the entire gamut of performance art to show biz is considered a mere distraction from the woes of the “real” world.  At best it is acknowledged as a metaphor for the state of current affairs, and not much more then satirical commentary. All in all, ART is cosidered for fun, and POLITICS is considered for realz.

Is there anything more Off-Off-Broadway then clowns that refuse to die? People from Philadelphia? An aerial show where half the aerialists learned how to fly 2 weeks ago? A contest where instead of doing things according to union rule books, you’re asked to put creativity first and safety last?

Phantasmagoria Circus Side Show
- A Dark Journey Into The Realm of The Unknown -

The House of Yes circus family is growing out of control and beyond the city limits of this fine town. We are proud to welcome some new friends from lands far away onto our stage.  Come witness the show which ignited the spirit of Philadelphia; the riot that put the body of the city inside it’s own imagination, and lifted the hearts of many with a twist of experimentation and a sprinkle of black magic.  Phantasmagoria, a rare sideshow treat, is bursting at the seams with traditional daredevil stunts — but where others aim to shock, Phantasmagoria will envelop and enrapture you with one contorted tale. Ringleader Alejandro Dubois leads you through a stellar exhibition of fire fiends, clowns, burlesque and belly dancers, sideshow vaudevillians and aerial acrobats all while examining the dangers of beauty.

Starring Nati Amos, Ms. Coney Island, Alejandro Dubois, Alfonso Cruz,  Reverend MacKenzie Moltov, and Mariana Mystique.

Directed and choreographed by Rev. MacKenzie Moltov, Alejandro DeBois, Mariana Mystique

Doors at 7, show at 8

BEHIND THE BIG BLACK CURTAIN

What goes on Behind the Big Black Curtain is a workshop designed as a guide to the backstage environment, and to help you as a director, performing artist, or theatre devisor make conscious design decisions to create a more powerful and effective production.

Emphasis is placed on developing your own personal language for collaboration, so you can effectively communicate your artistic vision with the technicians and designers who build your production. You will learn the tools of lighting, scenery, sound, and costume design, as well as how to best employ them in your own productions. The course also includes an introduction to technical terms and research methods, the study of professional practices in the development of a design, and an overview of the process in realizing productions on the stage. This class does not presuppose any technical knowledge and is intended as a resource for anyone involved in live performance. Pre-registration is required.
