Theatre C Presents VOULEZ-VOUS?: An Immersive Experience

RETRO FACTORY, a project of Theatre C (Binding, The Who's Tommy, Martian Chronicles, Cotton Candy and Cocaine, and the upcoming Odd Man Out), is mounting VOULEZ-VOUS?, their latest installment in their #FlashbackFriday series. Like their debut, "1983 - the radical 80s dance party in June 2018 that paid homage to the late great Pyramid Club - this immersive theater event will be held at the 12,000 square-foot Plaxall Gallery.

The Moulin Rouge was a safe haven for fun and abandon, where people of all walks of life could come to revel, dance, and express their truest self. RETRO FACTORY is also creating a space for everyone to feel welcome and loved; a space of wonder and inclusion.
