Showgasm is a free monthly variety/show party at Ars Nova. A happy-half-hour with $2 beers and music from the house band starts at 7:30, and the show starts at 8pm. Hosted by Lucas Kavner, we've got some sketch acts, ukulele ladies, some alt theater, dancing... pretty much anything that can be performed live on stage. It's the first one in a couple of months, and we're back with a vengeance!

Dave Malloy
Monday, May 24 @ 8pm, $15
A rusty old tambourine nailbin of a night, with hurt trombones and mournful accordions, rowdy raccoons and sweet honeybees, silhouette charms and whiskey tenors screaming at the rain. Composer Dave Malloy (Three Pianos, Beowulf - A Thousand Years of Baggage, Clown Bible, 2009 Jonathan Larson Grant winner) and a band of ten, including members of Banana Bag & Bodice, Three Pianos and The TEAM, work their way through a cacophonous pile of songs spanning four musicals and ten years of never before performed solo work. It's raucous anti-musical musical theater at its best.

with Jen Baker, Rick Burkhardt, Heather Christian, Jason Craig, Alec Duffy, Ezra Gale, Jessica Jelliffe, Mario Maggio and Peter Wise
