POCKET MOXIE: A Happenstance Vaudeville is a light-hearted homage to the style and spirit of the Great Age of Vaudeville - an immensely popular theatre from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries made up of specialty acts, song, and dance. Happenstance Theater's five versatile players breathe new life into classic old routines from a ventriloquist’s dummy to a magic act that goes awry, from novelty songs and a musical saw to waiters juggling meatballs, all with full live “foley” sound effects.

This show is teeming with hijinks, harmonies, nostalgic beauty, and physical comedy. Something for everyone and family friendly! Happenstance Theater brings old Vaudeville back!

Featuring Happenstance Theater’s Ensemble: Gwen Grastorf, Mark Jaster, Sabrina Mandell, Sarah Olmsted Thomas, and Alex Vernon.

“The Happenstance players present not a story with beginning, middle and end, but a string of precious jewels suspended on a glittering thread, with matching train-shaped clasps at each end.” - Broadway World
