BLAKE SUGARMAN: Prelude to the Apocalypse (For What It's Worth) 

Feb 1 - 2 at 8pm | Feb 10 at 8pm | Feb 11 at 3pm      

                                        

Prelude to the Apocalypse (For What It's Worth) engages with the climate crises in a number of unexpected ways: through the lens of evolutionary time, the biblical apocalypse, and the process of growing up as a person and a society. It also examines the human tendency to make wishes, and what that means in moments when we feel powerless. It all takes place in the shadow of a giant hourglass. Nevertheless, the universe breathes on. Prelude to the Apocalypse (For What It's Worth) is written and performed by Blake Sugarman and directed by Jacob Sexton.

JOHN JARBOE: You Can Never Go Down The Drain:  a Musical Children's Program for Adults in 2018 

Feb 3 at 8pm | Feb 4 at 3pm | Feb 8 - 9 at 8pm

Mr. Rogers was known for saying no matter how bad things are "You can never go down the drain."  Using and abusing iconic songs from the program, Philadelphia's Bearded Ladies Cabaret, puts this to the test.  For this workshop performance, expect a gold fish funeral, gay romps into the land of make-believe, and some earnest questions about irony. You Can Never Go Down The Drain is created by The Bearded Ladies Cabaret and written and performed by John Jarboe.

MARINA CELANDER: Mermaid's Howl

They speak to each other through time and space, through ocean divers and earth creatures, through madness and memories, remembering their way back to their matriline in Korea. Music and soundscape by Infinite Dåkot-Ta.
