Atomic Vaudeville is celebrating 20 years of live art! At its inception in 2004, AV sought to be a voice of the city. Over the years they’ve produced 86 cabaret shows (soon to be 87), multiple productions of Rocky Horror and Hedwig, the original production of smash hit musical Ride the Cyclone, built the world of riot grrrl band The Batshits with a short film and new musical, and facilitated clown workshops that encourage participants to disregard shame and be present in their bodies.
The artist-led culture of Atomic Vaudeville amplifies voices that expand the integrity of our human experience through theatre and live performance. Thank you for two decades of creative community!

FIRE AND OIL: Rising to the Challenge of a More Flammable World
Humans, aided by the fossil fuel industry (the “fire industry”), have altered the chemistry of our planet and its atmosphere in profound, life-changing ways. As a result, we are now, in real time, crossing a threshold into a new climate regime marked by previously unimagined extremes and whipsawing instability. How we conceptualize and respond to this unprecedented challenge is of immediate and paramount importance, not just to our psyches and our souls, but to the future of everyone on Earth. In this Changemakers talk, John Vaillant will offer ways of seeing, feeling – and meeting – this epochal moment.
