Sequins in the Stinkhouse - Desert Festival 2019

Vegas Gameshow + High End Showmanship + Mind Blowing Acts + Prison Reform …bear with me.

It’s a WORLD FIRST social experiment and Scandinavia is fuming. Twenty-eight prisoners, from the Ipswich Rehabilitation and Reform Facility (ie. the slammer) have been randomly selected to participate in a revolutionary rehabilitation program - tour a world class, decadent as f*ck, over the top, kid you not, STAGE SHOW SPECTACLE! In a whirlwind of ‘not guilty’, sociopathic tendencies and jazz hands, this motley crew of delinquents will present their finest stage show revelry for you, the jury, to behold. Sequins guaranteed, fraudulent claims about sequins, also guaranteed.

* CABARET * BURLESQUE * COMEDY * CONTORTION * PROP MANIPULATION * AERIAL PERFORMANCE * CIRCUS * MUSIC * DANCE * SWORD SWALLOWING * ROLLA BOLLA *

This is a show, with EVERYTHING.


Elizabeth Dawson-smith, teaming up with Red Hot Arts Central Australia is bringing this all out hilarious stage show spectacle to Alice Springs and invites you, the performer, to JUMP IN ON THIS!
