The Full Moon Vaudeville stretches back all the way to the '90s, when Curious Theatre Branch lived and worked at The Lunar Cabaret on Lincoln Avenue. There was a luminous full moon mural on the back wall, painted by Grace Amandes, and artists would perform in front of that wonderful moon. As the Full Moon tradition continues, we invite participants from the festival (and their friends, moms, and audiences) to join us at this celebratory opening ceremony, akin to smashing a champagne bottle on a ship.
