TABBOO!: THE NIGHTINGALE

TABBOO! (AKA STEPHEN TASHJIAN) IS ONE OF THE FINEST PAINTERS ALIVE! DO NOT MISS!



Sunday, Sept 28th

Participant Gallery presents the opening of its new exhibit
"THE NIGHTINGALE"
Featuring artwork by Tabboo!

The opening includes a short play—a drag extravaganza based on Hans Christian Anderson's classic 1844 tale set in the decadent court of Royal China. With Tabboo!, Agosto Machado, Brandon Olson, Jun Nakaya, Linda Simpson and many others.

Opening from 7 to 9pm.
Performance at 8pm.

BUNNY NOTE: I met Agosto Machado through Ethyl Eichelberger, in whose plays he often appeared. I appeared in a couple myself! Not only is Agosto unbelievably sweet, he's one of those performers who undeniably has "it". Lots of "it." I actually found him on youtube being interviewed about the East Village in the days of Jackie Curtis! What a treat!



253 East Houston St between Norfolk and Suffolk Sts

(The exhibit runs through November 2nd. There is another performance of the play on Oct 12th at 7pm.)
