Shit-faced Shakespeare®: Much Ado About Nothing
2023-04-08 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | The Rockwell
“I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange?”
Our season continues this spring with Much Ado About Nothing and you won’t want to miss this — a little crazier, a little zanier, and of course a little drunker.
When the sinister Don John and his troupe of bachelor soldiers arrive in Messina, Sicily love is in the air as old flames are re-ignited and new desires begin to burn. Maybe some hard liquor will help lubricate the process? Featuring Shakespeare’s most reluctant pair of lovers, villainous bastards, mistaken identities, faked deaths, sword fights, masque balls and lots of lovely lovely booze.
With a genuinely drunken professional actor selected at random every night, no two shows are ever the same. Shit-Faced Shakespeare seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as we go to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.

Muzzins Single Release Party!
2023-04-13 20:00 - 23:00
MUZZINS is a genre-bending, groove-loving, shape-shifting psychedelic dance trio that lays down thick-and-chunky original funk, jazz, hip-hop, punk rock, spoken word and improv — often within the same tune.
Their live stage performances are electric, magnetic, immersive and energizing, combining powerful stage presence, performance art, audience interactivity and incredible emotional range.
MUZZINS has quickly gained a cult following among music aficionados who appreciate edginess, mischief and radical creativity, as well as seasoned concert-goers longing to experience something completely refreshing, transformative and mind-blowing.
Thursday, April 13th at Rockwell they’ll be joined by friends Clamb and Beautiful Headquarters in what will surely be a night of mystical madness, esoteric groove tangents with just enough heavy rockitude to cleanse the palette. Setting the visual vibes will be the Digital Awareness and their cacophonous blend of psychedelic delights.

Read about our cast and see why it’s our most tempting show of the year!
“The Maine Attraction” captivates audiences every time she hits the stage. Coined the “Triple Threat of Burlesque” (dancer/actress/singer) she’s performed domestically and internationally, from MGM Grand’s Studio 54 in Las Vegas, Le Bus Palladium (Paris), Buddha Bar (Beirut, Lebanon) to Dragon-i in Hong Kong. Energetic, sensual, and wildly charismatic, her uninhibited rhythmic style and sense of humor blend an ensemble of samba, belly dance, African, improvisation and contortion, and pole dancing into a movement she’s defined as “Burlesque Fusion.”
Boo Boo Darlin’, “the fun time Gal,” brings THE right combination of sexy and funny to the burlesque stage. She is Virginia grown and Brooklyn honed and has been popping pasties and prosecco since 2009. She has since become an international sensation receiving esteemed awards as the Rome’s 2014 Porcapapessa Award for the Caput Mundi Intertantional Burlesque Festival, 2017 & 2018 “Biggest Lebowski” award at Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender, and 7 golden pastie awards over her 10 years performing in the much loved New York Burlesque Festival.
Evil Hate Monkey is an award-winning primate who has been flipping and stripping for audiences since 2002. Based in NYC, this monkey has pioneered a niche in the international circus/cabaret scene, headlined festivals all over the world, staged multiple full-length theater productions and and won many awards including the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas Best Duo 2006, King of Boylesque 2010, Most Comedic 2010 and Most Innovative 2008.
Pepper Grinds, “the Coarsest Broad in Burlesque”, is the founder and fearless leader of Cape Cod’s first burlesque troupe—the Brazen Belles. After more than a decade of singing, dancing, performing and traveling the globe, Pepper returned to her roots in 2011 to spice up quiet village life with some sultry bumping and grinding, some satirical wit and a whole lot of sass. Pepper’s signature style has been featured in shows and festivals in New England and Canada, was chosen to compete in “best debut” at the Burlesque Hall of fame 2019 and earned the judges choice award at Alternatease 2018.
Hosted by Madge of Honor, an award-winning performer with more than ten years of experience on stage. She’s stripped and hosted all over New England, old England and the rest of the UK, and helped launched the first-ever socially progressive burlesque troupe in Singapore. Madge is also the co-founder of Boston’s third or fourth (or fifth) favorite Holiday show, the Buttcracker.
