Ready for the Revolution?

Mikaela says:
It's almost that time!

Tricklock, Albuquerque's best theatre troupe, is once again ready to throw a month-long party, full of button-pushing theatre from all over the world, for the Revolutions Festival. Traveling artists will perform at venues throughout the Q. Check www.tricklock.com for the full schedule of where and when and what. (Hint: look for the never-disappointing Reptilian Lounge late-night cabaret)

As for me, I am breathlessly awaiting CityBeats, a collaborative effort between a troupe from Germany and the Tricklock gang itself in a piece that will examine the culture of immigration from the European and border-state perspectives. Look for this event to happen outside the traditional theatre. Rumor has it that Amy Biehl will host the piece in its courtroom. Community! Schools! Culture! What could be more exciting? (Nerd alert! Nerd alert! Nerd alert!)

So, if you're excited, too, but dread shelling out the hundreds of dollars it would cost you to attend all you want to see, contact Tricklock now to volunteer to help with the 7th annual Revolutions Festival. One volunteer job earns you one free show. Five volunteer jobs earns you an all-access pass (or the closest thing to it), including parties and discounts at local restaurants and bars supporting the festival (like Il Vicino, Raw, etc. ). Even without all these great perks, do you really need a reason to hang out with some of the coolest cats in the Q and all their world-traveling friends? Didn't think so.

See you there!
