The Moxie Show Wants You!
This Tuesday, September 11, and every second and fourth Tuesday of the month
Trav S.D. and the MOXIE SHOW want you to come out and show your
Moxie.
We're seeking not only music acts and comedians but also variety acts of
every description (acrobats, magicians), and sections of works of theater,
puppetry and dance. If you have a show currently on the boards or about to
go up, promote it by showing a section at the Moxie Show!
Did we mention PRIZES? Door prizes for random audience members as well as
prizes for those acts showing the most MOXIE, democratically elected using
the world's oldest approval device, the applause-o-meter.
Hosted by TRAV S.D., long time host of the American Vaudeville Theater and
author of NO Applause: Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville
Famous (and featuring special surprise guests), let the MOXIE SHOW be your
PLATFORM of EXCELLENCE. You don't dare miss it!
A special note about this week's show:
Friends, it has not escaped our attention that next Moxie Show, this coming
Tuesday, falls on September 11.
On that date in 2001, I and my colleagues were booked to play an earlier
version of The Moxie Show (featuring my radio play "Cold Fire") at the
original Collective Unconscious on Ludlow Street. Now, we find ourselves at
the new Collective Unconscious, a quarter mile from Ground Zero. So we think
it fitting for us to mark the occasion in some appropriate way.
Fortunately, the open mike night is the most democratic form of expression
known to man - a platform not only for the silly, but for the disgruntled,
the iconoclastic, the heretical, the dissatisfied, and the just plain
unhappy. This Tuesday, the Moxie Show is especially soliciting expressions
of this sort, whether it be writings or theatrical pieces against the war
(or against war in general), memoirs or remembrances about the day of the
attack, or even dada.which is more probably more eloquent about the chaos of
our times than anything else.
Of course, we're still welcoming with open arms acts of whatever description
you may want to bring to the show: not only music acts and comedians but
also variety acts of every description (acrobats, magicians), and sections
of works of theater, puppetry and dance. We hope to see you this Tuesday!

Performances: 8-11pm
Admission: $5 suggested donation (sliding scale)
WHERE: Collective Unconscious, 279 Church Street
