And isn’t that that theater in that city of New York that started that Village Halloween Parade. And that Theater For The New City Village Halloween Costume Ball is one of those fun events that is great to play dress up for Halloween. And there is Cabaret all evening, hot food and entertainment, celebrity judges for their costume ball, stilt dancers, jugglers, burlesque, vaudeville, Crystal Field’s “The Red And Black Masque”, astrology and numerology, I-Ching, astral portraits, artists, sculptors, designers, and a whole lot more on this all hallows eve day and night. And abracadabra, their flyer says that some of this years performance artists will include: Penny Arcade, Judith Malina, Miguel Maldonado, Bina Sharif, Epstein and Hassan, Steve Ben Israel, Zeroboy, Rolondo Politi, Adriano Moraes, Loren Dunn, Jonathan Weber, Stan Rifken, Eve Packer, Judy Sky, Hot Lavender Swing Band, The Great Paprika Band, Joe Bendik, The Psychics and many many more.
