Beyond the bright marquees and dim speakeasy, there is a timeless place where bouncy vaudeville meets soulful sounds and fresh comedy meets the glint of rhinestones. Smoke & Shadows is the Rockwell’s monthly burlesque and variety show that defies decade and genre, each time offering a new mix of performers from near and far. Acts may span from carefree to poignant and from sexy to thought-provoking, but no matter the specifics, Smoke and Shadows will always guarantee a night of excellent entertainment.
The early summertime edition of Smoke & Shadows is bursting with star power! Join us at the Rockwell in Davis Square on June 5 for an evening of intellectual entertainment full of showmanship, charm, and a flair for the dramatic. Don't miss this rare chance to see so many illustrious acts in the same place, at the same time! Our show features:
*Upbeat, edgy, and thought-provoking acoustic rock from power pop duo the Venus Mars Project
*Campy and dramatic burlesque from local titan Ginny Nightshade - cute as a button on a straitjacket!
*Sassy and glamorous Bollywood drag from postcolonial desi queen Lawhore Vagistan
*Bawdy vaudevillian stylings from variety singer and comedienne Niki Luparelli
*Comedy, storytelling, and progressive politics from Kwasi Mensah
Curated and hosted by Elsa Riot, burlesque goofball with a heart of gold.
