Tarot Cabaret to Return to Rochester Fringe Festival

Sunday Stages first debuted at the 12th annual Rochester Fringe Festival with a sold out showing of “35mm: A Musical Exhibition,” a song cycle where each song had an accompanied photograph. The unique staging included museum-like exhibits for each song, leaning into the “fringe” of it all. As mentioned above, this production will not stray from that sentiment—with audience participation encouraged and no preconceived set list. Tarot Cabaret first premiered to a sold out audience at Fairport Brewing in NOTA in November of 2024. That production had a  similar concept (each tarot card representing a song that resonated with its meaning); and last year the format changed to having a pool of 22 songs representing the 22 cards in the Major Arcana and audience members pulled cards which dictated the set list performed. In early 2026 Sunday Stages debuted Tarot Cabaret in NYC (to a sold out house!) and had an encore show in the Old Greeny Fringe Festival in Ithaca, NY.
