I am looking to create a cabaret act that is inspired by old vaudevillian, circus and Grand-Guignol theatre. I need people who either, 1) know what they're doing with regard to theater and/or 2) I need some acts. P.S. We also don't have a performance space so if you know of any... Just to be up front, I don't know much about theater arts, but I know much about the history of this type of theatre and also know some individuals with a passion for theatre that can help me. Additionally, I have alwa …

Well, let’s just dip our toe shoes into the water, here, and see if there’s any balletomania afoot, for a new meetup now. Amid the epoch of “Black Swan" at the movies, and with the Giants having won the World Series (yes, whipping through 32 fouetté turns is almost as hard as hitting a Lincecum fastball), and now the first book ever published about the entire history of ballet (“Apollo’s Angels,” by Jennifer Homans), and, ta-dah, most important of all, with the world-class San Francisco Ballet …
