This ten year tradition is looking for a 99 to 200 seat theater that can accommodate the needs of a variety arts show. The 2006 season will feature the Cavalcade of Youth, BFC Variety Cabaret, and the continued development of From the Gutter to the Glitter. If you have any notions of a venue, please let us know. ****************************************************************************************************** WWW.BINDLESTIFF.ORG <http://WWW.BINDLESTIFF.ORG> has a New Look! If you have not visited the Bindlestiff web site in recent times, stop by. It is still a bit under construction, but getting better every day. http://www.bindlestiff.org ***************************************************************************************************** BFC Headquarters faces eviction. It looks like the battle to stay in Williamsburgh, Brooklyn, NY may not continue for much longer. After over a decade, gentrification has taken its toll. Our office, rehearsal space and home as we know is to soon change. This will leave two circuses, Autonomedia, and a number of artists without a home base. Stay tuned for updates. ***************************************************************************************************** Keep the Variety Arts Alive Every donation is greatly appreciated, whether it is five dollars or five thousand dollars.
