Stampede! We're kicking off this Rhino season at Constellation with a pared-down, sleek, modern, stylish (stop no more adjectives) version of the traditional Full Moon Vaudeville.
Your fave fringe theater cabaret band (80% Curious, 20% Neo-Futurist) will play two sets, and special guests Izzy Yellen, Chris Bower and Kristin Garrison will do special things. We'll chat about Rhino shows! We'll sing songs! We'll see you there. It's a Wednesday.
