AHOYA!
An Aerial Jungle Adventure
What do you get when you put 30+ aerialists into the jungle, throw in some drummers, a plane crash, and top it all off with a 20-foot tall T-Rex? Ahoya!, The Sky Box’s annual student show.
The Sky Box, the 30′ aerial theater at the House of Yes, functions as a rehearsal space during the day but for one weekend will become the wildest, densest rain forest full of animated plants, acrobatic animals, and rambunctious tribal natives governed by a villainous tribal queen. When some tribe members are visited by visions of their destined noble queen, they conjure a spell to bring her to her new island home…
Every year Sky Box Aerial Studio stages an epic circus-theater production casting its most dedicated aerial students. The Sky Box prides itself on being NYC’s only dedicated aerial theater venue. This production has a cooler plane crash than Lost and stunts as good as The Lion King.
Doors at 8pm, Show at 9pm
$20 at the door, $15 in advance at

Skybox Aerial Variety Show
…Anya wrote an inspirational poem just for you to get you excited for the show!
A show of precision, daring and brawn
One lady will dance till her clothes are all gone!
Another will spin at high speeds on a corde,
It’s best thing in Brooklyn if not in the World!
There’s even a fiddle, played upside down
and MC Kae Burke sure don’t mess around,
It’s death defying and always high flying
And just 10 bucks so stop all yer whining!
Please don’t be late and bring your own wine,
Doors are at 8 and show starts at 9!
Tell all your friends, but only tell one of your lovers…or else it gets weird.
