Black Curtain Society: a vaudeville of secrets & surprises

Black Curtain Society: A Vaudeville of Secrets & Surprises is an intimate immersive evening of five veteran-authored ten-minute plays threaded together with live music, vaudeville acts, cocktails, and hidden encounters built around secrecy, seduction, and elegant social trespassing.

Set inside a smoky noir lounge somewhere between a diplomatic reception, and a private society gathering, the evening unfolds as a continuous immersive experience where performances emerge, disappear, and overlap around the audience. 

Former operatives circle each other over old wars. Polite conversation turns coercive. Beautiful strangers tell dangerous stories under velvet light.

Featuring plays by Clyde James Aragon, Robert Weibezahl, Mark Antony Rossi, Mike Oppenheim, and Christopher Paul Meyer, interwoven with live performance acts, immersive interactions, and ambient music throughout the night.

Presenting, Ana Brooks, a multidisciplinary performer and classically trained ballerina known for blending elegant dance with the strange and unusual through bottle balancing, cyr wheel, and immersive physical performance.

Presenting, music from Benjamin Fortier, active duty Marine and poet.

Bites & Cocktails: A curated experience by Chef Jeremy Plyburn of The Grape Rebellion, 

• Food & Cocktails are included with your ticket.
• The cocktails draw from 1950s classics, reimagined.

Designed to be experienced, not just consumed.

Black Curtain is not a lineup of acts, but a single unfolding immersive environment where theater, vaudeville, live music, and whispered revelations share the same intimate space. Nothing resets. No clean endings.
