NOIR BAR

A whispered password and a flight of stairs.
A shadowy rendezvous in a corner.
A movie star.
A flash of skin.
A mobster.
A fortune told.
A lead followed.
...And a bathtub full of beer.

We of The Ruckus cordially invite you to join us for NOIR BAR, a devilishly dark hootenanny for femme fatales, private eyes, stool pigeons, rabble-rousers, chanteuses, and fans of the hooch. We're looking to raise a little scratch, see, a little of the ol' greenery to support the savvy one-liners and double-crosses of Mitch Vermeersch's HEIST PLAY.

Hoist up your stockings, grab your trench coat, make sure to get the password, and join us.

Your hosts, the troubled twosome of Jennifer Roehm and Joshua Davis, will fill your glasses to the brim with the fine wares of VIRTUE CIDER, SPEAKEASY BREWERY and RIVER NORTH BEER, entice you with specialty cocktails mixed by a duo of feisty bartenderesses, and lead you in a midnight CHARLESTON CONTEST.

Music from DEUX FILLES DESANG,
Fortune-telling by THE GREAT AND POWERFUL MADAME VAN BARHAM,
And countless opportunities for a timeless mugshot, taken from your best side.

All proceeds will support The Ruckus' production of HEIST PLAY by Mitch Vermeersch, directed by Allison Shoemaker.
