What do you think of when I say “History Lesson?” Dusty book covers and dead white guys? Not when the Giddy Multitude is teaching! Returning to our oft un-noted roots as revisionist history recreationists, TGM enlivens the ancient and recent past with clown, burlesque, poetry, and dance!
Starring: Mariah MacCarthy, Lizzie Fox, Olivia Lehrman, Eros Graffiti and Airin Doll, Stanqui Sex, and Deborah Kaufmann. Hosted by Busty Kitten…
Cheap drinks and excellent homemade baked goods!!
The Giddy Multitude Vaudeville, Co. is reinventing vaudeville through storytelling and social commentary in the form of circus arts, burlesque, comedy, and music. We are building a place where artists of all levels and disciplines can mingle, learn, teach, and build community. TGM especially encourages female artists, queer artists, and artists of color to apply.

Rent WOW
Theatre!
WOW is
available to individuals and organizations for activities that resonate
with our mission.
The
rate is a very modest $15 per hour.
Additional fee applies if admission is charged to the rental event, and if additional WOW staff are required to be on-site.
Hold your rehearsal, teatime, bat mitzvah, workshop, etc., in our
theatre space!
Contact rentalspace@wowcafe.org |
The Capital Campaign
In 2000, WOW
launched its first large-scale fundraising effort, a capital campaign
to help us buy and renovate our theater. The City of New York has sold the tenants of 59-61 East 4th Street the
building for $1!
The caveat: That we raise the funds to
renovate the building, and bring it up to code. WOW’s share of renovation costs is about $125,000. As
we have survived solely on box-office sales for 25 years, this is more
money than we’ve ever had or needed in the past. |
When we do
succeed in securing these funds, WOW will own its own permanent theater
space in a completely renovated building.
One of the most
exciting aspects, which we have achieved, is the addition of a functional 24/7
self-service elevator! Yet to come is a sink for the bathroom, and dare we say air-conditioning?!
We have raised more than 3/4 of the total, but are not there yet! In order to make this possible, we urgently need your financial help! No
donation is too small or too large, and any amount will help us ensure
that theatre by women and by transgender people continues to thrive and be ever-increasingly accessible. |
