HERE: for the holidays

The perfect way to celebrate the night before the Midterm Elections. HERE:productions returns with another cabaret variety show, fittingly on the night before the Midterm Elections. HERE: for the holidays; an innocently lascivious performance, intent on sharing the true meaning of the holiday season — gifts, traditions, copious food and drink, and, of course, judging people. In between positively polarizing numbers, you’ll ask yourself those fundamental questions of life, like, “When DO 'the holidays’ begin?” … “Is Election Day a Holiday?”... “Why not?” … “Who’s in charge here?” and “Does Mariah even have a song about voting?” Hosted by Aunt Nance, and co-created by Ellis Centric and Aunt Nance, with additional performances by Bazuka Joe, Diva La Vida, Goodie Sesso, Sassy Squire, Sugar Cane Jane, and Tila von Twirl. Get a little naughty (or a lot!) — with a unique showcase of burlesque, acrobatics, clowning, drag and (optional) caroling. A show that skirts tradition and embraces trees, all while celebrating the magic of connection, expression, and darkness.
