From Torn Space Theater’s website:

Let’s face it, in the aftermath of the Arab Spring and the ongoing Occupy Wall Street movement, it gets harder everyday to tell the law breakers apart from justice loving citizens who are mad as hell and, well, you know the rest. Just in time for this dilemma, the Real Dream Cabaret debuts the Outlaw Show. The show features a familiar line up of infamous mobsters, molls, comic book supervillains, hippies, and scofflaws from across history. Thrown together after death into an inter-dimensional holding zone, the Limbo Lounge, the outlaws are forced to perform in an interminable talent show. Of course, being outlaws, they eventually put up a fight, and when their antics create a rift between Limbo and modern day reality, they break out and pick up where they left off, reinventing themselves for a new era.

Audiences can expect appearances from all manner of ne’er do wells, ranging from folk heroes like Robin Hood and Joan of Arc, to crooks from Buffalo’s past, to modern miscreants like Timothy Leary and Patty Hearst. Lizzie Borden gets another chance to share her tale, while Bonnie and Clyde try to find new ways to work out their relationship issues. And making an effort to represent the voice of reason, British censorship maven Mary Whitehouse will show us what not to look at in a series of “video nasties.”

Billed as “not for audiences under 18,” the Cabaret likens the show to children’s theater for adults, so be prepared to hide your eyes during the X-rated parts. But rather than glorifying criminality, the Outlaw Show instead poses a question that will never really be answered: where do we draw the line between “inside” and “outside” the law?

After a year of some hard work and dedication by Mary Lanham and the folks at the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle, the library reopened Saturday after being closed to the public for almost twenty years.

I have three videos that are well worth the watch of the event.

The first is of highlights of the reopening.

The second is of Greg Olma speaking at the event on the importance of Adam Mickiewicz in Polish Culture.

The third is of Mary “The Librarian” Lanham speaking about the library’s history and rebirth.

Alive!

You can read Mary Lanham’s post on the event by visiting her blog—>

Over the past several weeks, all of the books and other materials from the Polish Resource Center have been moved out of the upstairs hall. Most of the materials have been moved to the library’s annex on the third floor. The older materials have been placed in the back room of the library.

Prom of the Dead is Torn Space Theater’s second annual costume ball and fundraiser. Last year’s event was a huge success, providing over 500 guests with a wildly theatrical party located in the magnifecent ballroom of the Dnipro-Ukrainian Center. On October 22, 2011, the party of the year returns and once again the Dnipro will provide a striking backdrop to this night of mystery and mayhem as guests are transported to the haunted proceedings of the Prom.

Get decked out in your most formal, frightening, offbeat, hilarious, or ingenious attire to compete for our costume contest’s cash prize and the coveted titles of Prom of the Dead King and Queen.

Tickets $15.00 advance and $20.00 day of.  (online sales begin 09/01/2011)
