Prepare to mix your cabaret experience with an evening of Sci-Fi adventure as you are whisked away to ground zero of a multi-galactic war in another universe!

During your adventure you will find yourself journeying through Earth's songbook as Galactica relates stories of her career ranging from the Bible to Thomas Beckett, a hippie Rock Festival to an order of singing nuns sworn to silence, while simultaneously bringing a unique and, at times, amusing, interpretations to an eclectic mix of songs ranging from Burlesque to Beyoncé, Groucho Marx to David Bowie, as well as a few original song written by Galactica's Earth manager, Jeffrey Johnson.

Jeffrey Johnson, known for his acclaimed Feinstein/54 Below appearances as Edie Beale in Edie Beale LIVE at Reno Sweeney is thrilled to bring his cosmic creation, Special Agent Galactica, to the legendary Stonewall Inn. Special Agent Galactica, "an assassin of the multiverse-traveling both space and time," will beam into Stonewall along with her crew, Captain Satellite, "the being who tops Most Wanted lists across numerous multi-universal subsets," and her spaceship, the Timeship Aurora, voiced by The B-52's front man, Fred Schneider.
