About this Event
The iconic Bindlestiff Family Cirkus is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated Bindlestiff Open Stage Variety Show for the 2024-2025 season, presented by City Tech. This captivating showcase of extraordinary talent will take place at the renowned Voorhees Theatre, located at 186 Jay Street in Brooklyn, New York.
The Bindlestiff Open Stage Variety Show is a celebration of the vibrant and diverse world of variety entertainment, featuring a dynamic lineup of talented artists. A monthly open mic for variety artists hosted by Bindlestiff Family Cirkus co-founder Keith Nelson, this crowd-favorite features emerging performers and seasoned pros alike honing new acts in front of a live audience. A $15 suggested donation from each show goes into supporting initiatives like this that are devoted to the preservation of the variety arts.
The show’s 15-year history celebrates works in progress, emerging artists, and professionals trying something new - and always promises surprises. The season’s partnership with New York City College of Technology’s Entertainment Technology department — the only one of its kind in the Northeast and one of the few in the world — allows current students to utilize cutting-edge technologies of sound, lighting, scenery, video and show control during Bindlestiff’s in-person and live-streamed performances, thereby supporting emerging leaders of next-generation show creation and show production.
