-----------------
Gun-toting Tea Party Patriots... the Gulf oil spill... escalation of the war in Afghanistan... It wasn't supposed to be like this, was it? As the longed for "HOPE" Obama so successfully cultivated gives way to cynicism and despair, we return to "Weimar New York," the theatrical cabaret that uses the rubric of Weimar Germany to draw uneasy parallels between Germany then and the United States today.
The show began during the dog days of the Bush administration at Joe's Pub and played 2 seasons of the Spiegeltent at South Street Seaport. It has since gone on play sold out engagements at SFMOMA and LA Art Weekend.
"Weimar New York" returns home for 2 performances at Abrons Arts Center on the Lower East Side co-hosted by 2 bona fide New York City legends: Penny Arcade and Joey Arias. These shows also see the US debut of Sven Ratzke, a cabaret star in The Netherlands and Germany and the return of the Pixie Harlots in a brand new number choreographed by Julie Atlas Muz!
Confirmed performers include: Mike Albo, Russell Brown, Adam Dugas, Susan Hwang, John, Kelly, Phoebe Leger, Libby Shapiro and Tigger! (Performers vary from night to night.)
More performers TBA!
