THE PALACE: THE STORY
Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 04:43PM
“We've finally settled back in at home after traipsing the globe, performing our antics and unleashing our special brand of magic… and we’ve realize that we haven't reeeeealy shared with you how we ended up at The Palace and what secret plans we have for you. Some of the story will remain a mystery (though you might get it out of us night of, if the libations are as liberal as we suspect). So here it goes:
The 100 year old theater, former home of W. C. Fields and Harry Houdini, has been all but abandoned for more then 40 years… yes Dreamgirls, with Beyonce, filmed there, Juliian Casablancas of The Strokes played a show there, a movie or two flickered on the screen and a few mice made merry… but, for the most part, night after night, season after season, the theater has stood all but silent… until one night, while out for a walk from our new downtown warehouse, we discovered a tiny back door unlocked and open. A few nimble Lucent's slipped inside in the still of the night. There in middle of the dusty gold embellished auditorium a light began to glow within our soul. We could see the room come alive, performers gliding through the aisles, music filling the air, aerial silks flowing from the stage, dancers dancing, lovers loving. In that moment there was just us, but in our dreams there was also you…..
That’s when we realized…WE JUST CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!!
So we made a plan…
It would be like us to create a night totally underground and beyond the law… and we have 😉 but this time we have brought in extra forces to create a night both wild and secure….a night a full of the magic and mystery that you would only expect from Lucent. If you think it’s simply sitting in a chair and observing a show, think again! All that we have to give, we will be pouring out of our souls on this special night at The Palace, swaddled among deep scarlet curtains and pastoral murals of a time past. Secret encounters with sepia stained performers in hidden passage ways, wild tribal thumping from our very own orchestra, delicious indulgences to loosen your inhibitions, dance inducing beats from our music makers and the lovely Imagika, live art, sculptures, AND as you finally slip into your beautiful red velvet seat, a show to blow your mind.
WAIT! What?? There’s MORE?? YES my friend, we always bring you more. After you re-access your senses, rub your eyes with wonder, after the full blown stage show ~ we invite you to play with us even longer! We invite you to the after party as we celebrate together! We invite you to dance with us on our stage, to caress the garland draped columns of the past! We invite you to linger in the hallways and corridors once traveled by Fred Astaire, The Marx Brothers and French acting sensation Sarah Bernhardt.
We will celebrate with you until the bewitching hours of pre-dawn (that's 3am in laymans terms), as the city slumbers, WE live! WE dance, WE play! We invite you to spend an entire 8 hour evening with us if you dare. This is not just a stage show, oh no. This is an indulgence, an event, an EXPERIENCE. We have chosen to open our doors earlier and close our doors later! This will be a night for your diary, your blog, your memories (take Friday off). Grab our hands, fall down the rabbit hole, allow us to be your guide……
If you have been waiting to purchase tickets, please wait no more! There are only a few seats left in each section (except for the red section which is sold-out and the purple section so we're putting it on sale 😉 There really isn't a bad seat in the house. Click on this link and get er done.
You DO NOT want to be the one hearing about this night you want to be the one living it…”
