Theatre Bizarre - Squared Circle Revue (8/1 and 8/2) + Stolen Media V (8/7 and 8/8)

The entry into August becomes Theatre Bizarre's incomparable summer blowout -
with TWO individual TWO-day festivals...on the first TWO weekends of the month.

<<>>

The first - Squared Circle Revue - August 1 and August 2



Starting in the mad, mutated, spontanaety usually held with events at Theatre Bizarre (namely it's Halloween Party), but extending it even further into the realms of a damned three-ring circus - a "Music / Magic / Burlesque / Wrestling - Carnival!" - This event features "human oddity" Glenda The Bearded Lady, the "amazing strength" of Gunther T. Strongman, the "death-defying dives of" The Flying Gambinos, the magic of Scarboni the Great, Pogo the One Legged Boy, and...the "pie to the face-attack" of Clowntown (the latter being described to me by performing musician Drew Bardo as "an army of clowns that cause trouble wherever they go...")

The zany odyssey is brought to you by Thomas Foolery (either alias or conjured contact of Casey Miller, a close ally to Theatre Bizarre, whose been putting on wrestling-themed/musical gatherings for a few years now). The main event (wrestling-wise) is the "Zodiac Battle Royal" between Snake and Cat. (more info: myspace.com/squaredcirclerevue

Along with fire jugglers and sword swallowers - there will also be the burlesque dance enchantment of Roxi DeLite - and, travling up from Mexico - Polka Madre - there's also Miss Chantel and Haley Jane and still more
