The Shadow Circus Creature Theatre, San Francisco’s most belligerent  puppetry troupe, is producing a new live event; ‘The Shadow Circus  Vaudeville Theatre’ and we’re looking for performers to participate in  this new puppet-hosted variety show. Performers of all kinds are  encouraged to join in; comedians, clowns, jugglers, magicians,  acrobats, burlesque acts, poetry readers, interpretive dancers or  people that just want to bang on a shopping cart with a rusty chainsaw  while wearing a bear suit... Hell, any crazy madcap act you can come up  with we’re willing to consider featuring on our show. Musical acts are  welcome, so long as you can get on stage and start with little or no  setup...
  
  This is because this production won’t follow the standard setup of  ‘opening act’, ‘middle act’ and ‘headliner’ but instead will have all  the acts alternating (amidst the thread of a puppet-driven story arch)  to form one big cohesive show. Think of it like a live version of ‘The  Muppet Show’; each guest star will get 3-4 acts interspersed throughout  the evening.
  
  Also like ‘The Muppet Show’, we’d like to have interaction between the  puppets and ‘Guest Stars’ for some of the acts during the show. Sing a  duet with a drunken velociraptor! Do a comedy routine with a giant  cockroach! The possibilities are endless!
  
  We’re hoping to have around 3-4 Guest Stars per night (depending on the  length and nature of the acts). The first ‘Shadow Circus Vaudeville  Theatre’ will be in late October... If the format is successful, it  will be a monthly event.
  
  If you or anyone you know is interested in being a part of this totally  unique event, e-mail me (Dave Haaz-Baroque) via  creaturetheatre at yahoo.com. Please give a description of your act, and a  link to any online examples of your work that you may have.
