Variety Arts School & Theater in New York (stay tuned)
So an acrobat, a ventriloquist, and a Burlesque queen walked into a
building.... We're spearheading an effort to create a performance,
practice, and research space devoted to the Variety Arts. The space
will focus on the specific needs of the local Variety Arts community
and will attract artists from around the world. This exciting project
is still in the early stages, but it is moving rapidly. If you're
interested in getting involved, would like to pledge your financial
(or physical, intellectual, or emotional) support, or you happen to
know of a large, conveniently located empty space, please let us know!
