A Cabaret of Shakespearean Proportions
Becoming Carlotta-B is confusing AF!
For the ‘Ultimate Feminist Shakespearean contemporary leading lady’, coming to New York City in 2022 from Elizabethan England in 1593 has been both a blessing and a curse on the one hand - women are boss ladies! They’re allowed to read and write and needlework is so five hundred years ago. On the other hand - Carli-B can’t find any decent hemlock and the supreme court has just made medieval for people with vaginas.
Join Carlotta-B in a protest for freedom that is full of of frivolity. Shakespearean Cabaret Co is a merry band of mischievous artists cooking up a poetic salve for today’s woes. Written and performed by Carla Kissane. Directed by Miriam Grill. Will musical arrangements by Andrew Patterson & Ben Kiley - Our creative team of Katherine McClintic, C.S.E Cooney, and Annie Jin Wang (Choreography, Co-writing, Dramaturgy)
Will serve you up a cocktail of musical mashups that is designed to let freedom ring!
Hey Nonny Nonny, Bitches!
