EDITOR/PRODUCER: The Brothers Darque present VaudeVile: Theatre du Grotesque is a Halloween vaudeville-style revue with acts ranging from a mentalist, a magician, freak acts, dark comedy sketches, a fan dancer and musical interludes, all dripping with the macabre. Think Baz Luhrman meets Tim Burton. Popular local band 50 Cent Haircut lead by Jay Souza, will provide 20's-style joint band music for the accompaniment, complete with megaphone singing and a banjo. Not for the faint of heart, VaudeVile is perfect for fans of the current Burlesque and Roots music trends or someone just looking for something fun and different to do around Halloween.

The Brothers Darque (Kirk Diedrich and Jesse Mackey) have assembled a stellar cast for VaudeVile : Theatre du Grotesque featuring members of the ACME's Acme and Bravo Companies as well as members of the renowned Liquid Radio Players.

ACME was founded in 1990 by M.D. SWEENEY. With the constantly changing lineup outside of the Acme family who come to entertain with quality humor, ACME has featured the early talents of Wayne Brady, ADAM CAROLLA, SEAN HAYES, RYAN STILES, FRED WILLARD and WIL WHEATON among others. ACME Players have appeared in hundreds of films, sitcoms, and commercials. Behind the scenes, ACME Players have gone on to win seven Emmys® and two Peabody awards® as well as producing shows like FRIENDS, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, JUST SHOOT ME, GROUNDED FOR LIFE, THE SIMPSONS, 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN, ANIMANIACS and STEVEN SPIELBERG'S TOONSYLVANIA. The ACME family is proud of the many stage and film projects that began on the ACME Stage, and continue to humbly offer a venue where original work can develop, thrive and hopefully find an audience. In 1997, RITA WILSON & TOM HANKS discovered NIA VARDALOS performing her one-woman show MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING for a delighted ACME audience. And the rest is cinematic history.

Under new ownership, ACME is experiencing complete renovations scheduled for completion in September and ACME Comedy Theatre has come under the direction of TRAVIS OATES, a long-time ACME Main Company Member and the director of the ACME School for the last two years.
