From its six-year run in New York City to a world tour from London to Seoul, the celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show now takes Boston by storm, bringing you the ultimate disco experience--a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens. Come party on the dance floor to all the 70s disco hits you know by heart as the show unfolds around you.
The Donkey Show tells the story A Midsummer Night's Dream through the great 70s anthems, including "We are Family," "I Love the Nightlife," "Car Wash," "Ring My Bell," and "Last Dance." The enchanted forest of Shakespeare's classic comedy becomes the glittered world of retro disco as the lovers escape from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and fantasy.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Critics and Hipsters! We are proud to introduce "Evelyn Evelyn"- the world's only conjoined-twin singer-songwriter duo.
Discovered and launched by punk-cabaret queen Amanda Palmer (The Dresden Dolls) and endless minstrel Jason Webley, Evelyn Evelyn is one of the most anticipated acts of 2010. After three full years in the studio, the Evelyn sisters are gearing up for a world tour in support of their debut album, which hits shelves on March 30th. Epic in scope and production, the twelve tracks on "Evelyn Evelyn" showcase their twins' uncanny talent and versatility as musicians. With a background in circus performance and a wide, bizarre range of influences, the twins compose original timeless songs full of humor, sadness, and double entendre.
The album will be accompanied by a full U.S. and European tour which kicks off at OBERON with a special two-night only engagement.

This is nothing like a carnival; this is electro-bloody-death-pop
The Animals is an event comprised of live electro-pop music, huge video/animation, three insane dancers, ten animals and the ten epic deaths of one boy, by each of them. Based out of the electro-pop album "The Animals" (available on iTunes), this event explores deterioration through a fast-paced, narrative performance with dance on and off-stage. It is a bloody, outrageous evolution from all that is lost (by means of limbs and eyes and any sense of self) to what is finally realized. For more information please visit TheAnimalsEvent.com
