The Dress Up in Dream Floor Show
The mysterious, the inexplicable, the unsolved, the forbidden:
reveal your deepest unconscious secrets and explore your
dreamscape at the Dress Up in Dream Floor Show. Be
guided through the lucid corners of the artists’ mind-caverns:
experience the scary, the sexy, the sordid, the showy.
Sacrifice your reservations and give in to the
darkest temptations of your imagination.
CBC Music Series Guest: GHOSTKEEPER, with Sally's Krackers
and the electric arc.

Rise up.
Your revolution: it’s the what-if, the could-be, the should-be, the will-be.
Your revolution: it’s politics and semantics, artistics and music.
Gather the beatnicks, the critics, the cynics, the mystics, the mavericks,
the convicts. Blow up the gimmicks, pick-apart the slick-ricks,
dismantle the predicates. Your revolution: it starts now.
Join panelists at 7pm on June 13 for an encouraged heated debate on
funding for the arts: where it has gone, is going, and will be. Stay
for revolutionarily rocket-fuelled multi-disciplinary performances
throughout the evening.

The Hurly-Burly Time-Traveling Vaudevillian
Serial Comedy Show
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather ‘round for a death-defying,
awe-inspiring, side-splitting, laughter-stirring, non-stop vaudevillian
extravaganza! Stay for the ragtime pantaloons, throw your darts
and bouquets at the topical monologists, rev your engines for the
eccentric dancers, warble with the barrel-house songbirds, give way
for the magicians, the tumblers, the jugglers, and the freaks!
Travel back in time to the dusty beginnings of vaudevillian comedy
and soak up a time-honoured nine-part act; laugh till you cry, cry till
you laugh. Stay and cut up the rug with Edmonton’s own
ukulele masters, The Be Arthurs.
