Sideshow Villains’ Deviant Cabaret 7 Deadly Sins Masquerade is a live music, circus and theater event that questions the nature of sin. This is the 3rd annual performance from the band Sideshow Villains whose music tells tales of criminality, revenge, and murder set to an eclectic mix of Americana musical styles that evoke 70’s film soundtracks, Hollywood westerns, smokey jazz clubs, and vaudevillian burlesque acts. The Deviant Cabaret performers will astound you with their fearlessness and skill as they embody the 7 deadly sins and a few lesser known sins as well.

Arrive in your most exquisite finery or disguise. Masquerade masks are encouraged and will be available to first 100 people who come unprepared.
