Cabaret Lunatique's "Celebrate the Mission" this Saturday, May 14

This coming Saturday, see Cabaret Lunatique's next installment of their series of cabarets celebrating a San Francisco neighborhood! This month, the Mission District is the focus.

The performers will include Herbert Seguenza as Neil Diamante, spoken word artists Alejandra Mojica and Paul Flores, burlesque performer La Chica Boom (pictured), and DJ Ron Obregon. The show will be co-hosted by Ricardo Salinas, director of ZinZanni’s current show “Caliente” and Robert Lopez (aka El Vez), who also stars in “Caliente” as the character Cinco. You will find brief biographies of the performers at cabaretlunatique.org.

The cabarets take place in Teatro ZinZanni's Spiegeltent after the earlier show, "Caliente," ends. So it's a great venue, you just won't be getting the full dinner. There will be drinks and light food available for an additional cost, however, so you can get something to eat.

The cost of the show's tickets are $25.00 for general admission, and $35.00 for premium seating. Tickets may be purchased online at http://love.zinzanni.org, by phone at 415/438-2668, or at the box office. Doors to the lobby will open at 11:15 p.m. Parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood, just keep an eye out for parking restrictions so you don't wind up with a parking ticket! It is a 21 and older show, so no one under legal drinking age allowed in the show.

"Celebrate the Mission"

Teatro ZinZanni announces Cabaret Lunatique’s third installment in a series of
nine late-night cabarets each focusing on a distinctive San Francisco neighborhood. Continuing May 14 with “Celebrate The Mission,” the zany performances will showcase many local artists in a late night varieté spiced with saucy cabaret, crazed circus, scandal, music and mayhem – all held in the gorgeous, glamorous Spiegeltent on Pier 29. First launched in 2008, Teatro ZinZanni’s cabarets all sold out and are now back due to popular demand. The current series began in March with “Celebrate Chinatown” and a further six additional evenings are scheduled for the remainder of the year focusing on the neighborhoods of the Castro, Fillmore/Jazz, Haight Ashbury, SOMA, On the Waterfront, and The Hills.

“We know that there is an audience in the Bay Area that is looking for exciting and unique entertainment late at night – because we search for the same thing when we head out into the night after our regular show…” said Teatro ZinZanni Managing Director Patrick Markle. “We thought – why not invite them in to a series of cabarets focused on the huge wealth and diversity of talent…right here in town. Voila – Cabaret Lunatique is born.”

“Celebrate The Mission” is the third cabaret of 2011 and features several local artists from the Bay Area including performer Herbert Seguenza as Neil Diamante; spoken word artists Alejandra Mojica and Paul Flores; seductive burlesque performer La Chica Boom; and DJ Ron Obregon. They will also be joined by co-hosts Ricardo Salinas, director of ZinZanni’s current show “Caliente” and Robert Lopez, who also stars in “Caliente” as the character Cinco.

Cabaret Lunatique’s “Celebrate The Mission” Saturday, May 14. Doors to the lobby will open at 11:15 PM. Admission is $35 for premium and $25 general admission.

An esteemed member of the local arts community for more than a decade, Teatro ZinZanni is a not-for-profit arts organization with a mission to preserve, nurture, and support the centuries-old traditions of European circus arts. Over the past decade, Teatro ZinZanni has assisted other non-profit organizations including Sean Penn’s Haitian Relief Organization, Bread and Roses Family Foundation, Huckleberry House, Suicide Prevention League and New Leaf Services in raising more than $2,000,000 for charitable causes through ticket donations and hosting fundraisers in the tent.
