Limited seating may be available at the door. \nPREPOSTEROUS! is a sophisticated\, family-friendly\, pocket-sized clown circus in which charming vintage clowns play circus animals\, sing as a human calliope\, do the classic circus mirror routine with a twist\, invent a number of ridiculous “entrées”\, perform live music\, and execute a very satisfying slow motion number involving a pie. \n“Happenstance Theater is a delightfully precise group of actor/clowns\, all hell bent on making you smile. It will be a smile that goes directly to your heart. If they’re in your neighborhood\, grab a friend or relative and hurry to buy a couple of tickets. You’ll be sure to have a wonderful time.”                                  – Paul Binder\, Founder\, Big Apple Circus \nGet your tickets here \nLeslie Swan Photography\nPREPOSTEROUS! premiered in the summer of 2017 at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival’s 50th Anniversary featuring CIRCUS ARTS and it has been performed at The National Theater as part of their Saturday Morning family series.

SUMMARY:LET THE MICE IN: THE SHADOW RING (1992–2002) reunion
DESCRIPTION:  \nJul 27\, 2024\n4 pm and 7 pm \n$25\, free for box set owners (with proof of purchase\, RSVP to info@blankforms.org by July 13) \n \nTICKETS at official event site \nOn the occasion of the monumental release of The Shadow Ring (1992–2002)\, the original Cat & Bells Club compatriots G. Lambkin & D. Harris will be joined by Novation Bass Station wizard and Phacto founder T. Goss for two sets of song and celebration. The three Folkestone-reared friends will reunite at the Waterfront Museum. Not performing as the Shadow Ring\, the performances will summon the trio’s current sonic incarnations\, featuring readings\, sound arrangements\, and a rare set by Call Back the Giants. Once on the water\, we’ll soon learn what the fish REALLY think. \nAt 9 pm\, join the group for an afterparty\, informal Q&A\, and DJ set at the San Pedro Inn. \nThroughout their legendary\, decade-long run\, the Shadow Ring were an enigmatic force on the international musical sub-underground. Before their disbandment in 2002\, this shambolic rock outfit\, formed by a group of rowdy teenagers in southeast England\, left behind a mighty run of eight LPs\, a handful of 7″s\, and a spate of raucous live shows and cryptic zine appearances on both sides of the Atlantic\, all which have bolstered their enduring word-of-mouth mystique. Beginning in 2023\, Blank Forms has launched a multipronged retrospective\, including the first vinyl pressing of the self-released pre-Shadow Ring tape The Cat & Bells Club (1992)\, reissues of their first two records\, and a comprehensive CD box set with a 500-page catalog. More reissues and activities are on the way.

SUMMARY:Harboring History: Brooklyn's Transforming Waterfront

SUMMARY:HUGHIE
DESCRIPTION:Eugene O’Neill wrote eight one-act plays toward the end of his days. He threw seven into his fireplace one night. Only HUGHIE remained… \nOn October 18th and 19th\, Red Hook’s own Bobby Cole returns to the stage as Erie Smith in Eugene O’Neill’s HUGHIE more than thirty years after first performing the role at Sunny’s back in 1992. \nSet in 1928\, just after New York’s infamous train derailment and on the cusp of the Great Depression\, Hughie captures the smoky solitude and fragile hope of the city’s sleepless souls in O’Neill’s hauntingly lyrical style. \nOn Saturday the hour long performance of Hughie will be accompanied by two new short pieces in develpment by local writers. \nOn Sunday\, The Milkman and Sons—a lively local four-piece 1920s jazz band—will keep the spirit swinging before and after the performance. Feel free to dress the part\, and be ready to dance! O’Neill would’ve raised a glass to that.
