After a sizzling summer closing show and a short hiatus, SPECTRA EVENTS is excited to bring back The NERDY CABARET -- BONDING, BREAKUPS, and BAD RELATIONSHIPS! 

Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring comedy, song, dance, and theatre, distinguished mainly by the performance venue—a restaurant or nightclub with a stage for performances and the audience sitting at tables (often dining or drinking) watching the performance being introduced by a master of ceremonies or tomfoolery.

The NERDY CABARET is an audience-driven theatrical experiment in the fine art of geekdom; hipsters are encouraged to sport their fake wide-rimmed glasses, lab technicians spontaneously strip down to inflammable lingerie, and after-work-didn’t-have-time-to-change ensembles can pass as kinky. Nerdy science jokes, political sattire, deconstructive hip-hop story-telling, and sexy role-play involving inanimate objects are all encouraged here. Enter at your own risk. 

This month's theme is all about the chemical reactions that drive Bonding, the pseudo-psychology of Breakups, and the political effects of Bad Relationships on the nerd's social environment.   

Read the full PRESS RELEASE here!

AUDIENCE: This is serious business. If this event were to be considered an "UnWedding", a "Beakup Celebration", a "Divorce Party", or an "Ode to the Exes",  what would you wear? (no weapons allowed inside Middle East, unfortunately)

TELL US YOU’RE COMING: Facebook Event | Official Guest List for $8 Admission 

ADMISSION: Sign up for the $8 Guest List (or pre-purchase your ticket). Otherwise, $10 at the Door.

MEET YOUR HOSTS: IDALIA AND SPECTRA

SPECTRA is the intellectually artsy mastermind behind Spectra Events (and their new show, the Nerdy Cabaret).

This creative nerd, introverted socialite, and femme-lovin' Naija boi digs video games as commentary for the human experience and multivariable calculus as a metaphor for relationships.

When s/he's not making love to a piano (or other inanimate objects), s/he's blogging about more serious stuff at www.spectraspeaks.com, espousing un-proofed formulas for optimizing polyamorous connections and pondering the science of love at @iqwoc on Twitter, and of course giving away free tickets to upcoming events at @spectrasevents.

Brand of Bad: REBEL

IDIALIA is a fierce Puertominican poet; a proud nerd, and a lover of safe words like pancakes, hickies, and sugarmelt.

She began writing for herself, until she looked around only to realize the scarcity of voices like hers -- queer brown artsy and kinky -- in the media, so now she writes for everyone else; for the kid in kindergarten who cried after someone made fun of his accent, for her little sister who asked her to pass the “people colored crayon” (peach), for the transgender girl who smiled after putting on lipstick for the first time, and to the people privileged enough to ignore the injustices that exist in the world. 

Follow her on Tumblr and on Twitter, and maybe she'll blow you a kiss.
