CANCELLED BY HURRICANE SANDY
Sadly, this wonderful show with its genius cast was CANCELLED due to HURRICANE SANDY two days prior. The venue BOWERY ELECTRIC, like all of the East Village and most of downtown Manhattan,
had no electricity for five days. Rather than rescheduling the show amidst all of the benefits for Sandy's victims citywide, the producers will stage an early 2013 edition with as much of the Halloween cast as possible.
Stay tuned to mothernyc.com for details.

HOWL HELP was created to provide emergency financial
assistance and social service support to artists who have participated in the
annual HOWL FESTIVAL or who make their careers in New York City's East Village
and Lower East Side arts community. Administered by THE ACTORS FUND, HOWL HELP
serves the needs of many artists whose work (of any generation) challenges the
traditional boundaries of dance, theatre, music, multimedia and the spoken
word.
THE JACKIE FACTORY is
the NYC based nightclub arts collective founded by husband and wife team CHI CHI
VALENTI and JOHNNY DYNELL in 1990. Most famous for the 450 themed editions of
its decade-long party JACKIE 60, venue MOTHER, and annual Stevie Nicks
extravaganza NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES, THE FACTORY also creates large-scale
spectacles in New York and cities nationwide and worldwide, including LOW LIFE @
HOWL! Fresh from her work at BURNING MAN, EDITRIX ABBY jumps back into NY
Nightlife each October with GHOSTLIGHT.
