About this Event
From the mind behind The Abhorrent Cinema comes an all new variety show dedicated to the worship of film and celebrating the cinephiles who love them - it's the Cult Classic Cabaret! This variety show features burlesque, drag, and all manner of cabaret artists performing their odes to their favorite deep cuts and formative films - the guilty pleasures and nostalgic treasures!
Worried your film knowledge is lacking? Concerned your memory of niche movie references might be a bit fuzzy? Fret not! Your haunting host, Noah Grey, will introduce each act with a clip from the film being referenced, along with some trivia and fun facts, ensuring that you never feel left out of the joke.
Each Cult Classic Cabaret will tackle a different sub-genre of film. July's movie night takes on the blockbuster event of yesteryear: from saucer men to blobs and everything in between, it's the Sci-Fi Summer Show! Each guest performer will bring an act inspired by a science fiction film near and dear to them.
Please be advised:
The Newport Theater is up a flight of stairs (no elevator, but there is a private entrance with a railing) and has two all-gender single-stall restrooms onsite. Please email The Newport with any accessibility/entry questions at [email protected]
