Theme: “INDEPENDENCE”
“Showcase Chaos” is an Open Stage event hosted by Beezy Douglas on the Third Thursday* of each month at the Wizbang Theatre and Circus School.
*The July #ShowcaseChaos is going to be pushed back a week to the 24th so that the Wizbang folks can raise their tent downtown as part of the BorderLight Theatre Festival!
Since November 2023, Showcase Chaos audiences have been moved and entertained by local musicians, comedians, storytellers, puppeteers, strongmen, poets, magicians, playwrights, and more!

FAQs
How do I sign up & how much time do I get?
Performers are randomly called for sign up at 7:50pm. You may be called first, but can sign up to perform last. Conversely, you may be called last, but forced to take the first slot if that’s all that is available.
What’s the vibe?
This is a listening space where performers are expected to witness and support each other. Artists come for the stage time, but stay for the community and camaraderie.
