One Night Event!
In Order to Not Work a 9 to 5
Saturday August 3rd, 9pm
$20
Seann Cantatore will do anything to avoid the horror of working a desk job, even write a whole musical about it.
In Order to Not Work a 9 to 5 follows Seann Cantatore’s financially inconsistent and chaotic lifestyle as a self-employed musician and comedian in NYC. Seann invites the audience into her world of whimsy, utter ridiculousness and the randomest of odd jobs. Through character-based storytelling, infectious music, and a good helping of spontaneity, she explores very real themes of self-doubt, chasing one's dreams and the dreaded pressure of a desk job.

ALIEN: MATERNITY
Saturday October 4th, 2pm & 7pm
What if two space lesbians adopted the strangest baby in the galaxy?
ALIEN: MATERNITY is a queer sci-fi comedy musical set in the universe of the Alien franchise. It tells the story of two trans women’s struggle to raise their xenomorph chestburster baby amidst the oppressive Weyland-Yutani corporation, featuring parodies of famous songs from all over Broadway! This show is silly, sincere and sure to thrill sci-fi fans and theater nerds alike.
Profits from ticket sales will be donated to The Attic Youth Center, a wonderful organization right here in Philadelphia dedicated to “opportunities for LGBTQ youth to develop into healthy, independent, civic-minded adults within a safe and supportive community.”
