Have a fun night while making a difference!
April 18th 2025 No Bird 2078 N. Liberty Street Jacksonville, FL 32206 Doors: 7:30pm, First floorshow performance at 8pm. Street parking as well as a parking lot next door. Sliding scale, whether $5 cash at the door, or more or physical donations to the booths, do what you can to enter. 18+ to enter with ID. There's the phrase: "Bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance all night."** But let us also do a secret 4th option: Artivism. Activism while creating art. We are often told in scary times to "Look For The Helpers" so in good-neighbor-Mr-Roger-but-make-it-spicy fashion we are bringing The Helpers to YOU in a safe space. Enjoy an immersive floorshow that includes multiple non profit organizations, Activists and boots-on-the-ground local leadership that can do mutual aid & make a difference locally over the next four years. Sign up to volunteer or march in events/protests, donate goods/supplies or cash to causes or learn more about how these helpers aid in anti-fascist ways in our immediate community, our very neighbors, directly from their literature, representatives & even leaders present at each booth between performances of fiery spite-fuel charged performances of drag, burlesque, bellydancing, vaudeville/sideshow & more with an inclusive & diverse cast volunteering their services for the multiple causes that need more help now more thane ever for our INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES, as the D in Danger Dames stands for DEI & vaudeville entertainment, specifically burlesque & drag has always been political, historically speaking. We understand that with great sparkle comes great responsibility as we carry on the history of Femmes & Themmes arrested before us to have our arts as it is today. Nonprofits/organizations to be present & receive donations of the door are including but not limited to:
