R&J SHUFFLE DJJuly 26*Performance starts at 10:30 PM*Seven performers step in front of an audience and attempt to dance/move/gyrate their way through the story of Romeo & Juliet without knowing what music is going to be accompanying them. The music will be provided by a special guest's music collection set to shuffle. Have you ever seen Romeo court Juliet to the soothing sounds of "Javert's Suicide" from Les Mis? What about Tybalt and Mercutio fighting in the street to a random voice memo our special guest recorded years earlier? Regardless of what comes out, our performers must move with it and move the story forward using it. It's going to be an absolutely beautiful train wreck. So why not have a beer and watch?

CALVIN & CRAIGTRUST US IT COULD BE WORSEAugust 2Calvin & Craig have always been futurists, but it’s just so easy to get mired in the muck of the present. So they have invited a bunch of their best human volunteer friends who perform in various outlets around the city to come and see what happens when they meet a series of random virtual environments, using state-of-the-art virtual reality technology. Calvin & Craig wish to make it clear that they don't know what will happen at this performative mad laboratory, but they are excited to help the most creative weirdos they know through rudimentary interdimensional travel. Come future with us.Hosted by Calvin & Craig (Kevin Laibson & Chris Booth)
Produced by Kevin Laibson & David Gochfeld
In association with: Alive in Plasticland & Agile Lens
