Jon Marcantoni

Emcee of Circo Flamboyán

Matthew Rodriguez and Elizabeth Thomas will host an Improv Takeover Feb 19 and Feb 20 featuring Benign Nuisance and the Armando players!

The show runs 90 minutes and will feature different acts depending on the night
There will be an artist market before the show
All shows EXCEPT Feb 15th begin at 7:30pm. On Feb 15th we will have a matinee at 3pm.
Each night is dedicated to a different Puerto Rican city, with MC Jon Marcantoni sharing (hopefully) fun facts about each city, along with funny stories about Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican families as part of his hammin’ it up between sets. This will also include pulling random Puerto Rican audience members to the stage to share their own funny Puerto Rican anecdotes! (And if there are no Boricuas in the audience, any Latino will do!)
There will be an open mic section where any audience member who wants to perform for five minutes will receive a free drink ticket and a free ticket to an upcoming Flamboyán show or event.
The February 19th and 20th shows will feature an Improv Takeover featuring Benign Nuisance, The Elizabeth Thomas Show, and the Armando Players!
Show dates are the following:
-Feb 12 - San Juan -Feb 19 - Humacao
-Feb 13 - Ponce -Feb 20 - Aguadilla
-Feb 14 - Fajardo -Feb 21 - Utuado
-Feb 15 - Luquillo (matinee)

Pitches accepted by January 15th
Performance time limit is 10 minutes
Pitches should include which show dates you want to perform, or you can say ALL.
Performances can be any performing art, from circus acts to drag to music (vocal and instrumental), to poetry, to monologues, to skits, to stand up comedy!
Pitches should include a description of your art form and what you plan to do. Videos or pictures are appreciated but not required.
Selections are largely arbitrary, and will be based on how many people submit and whether there is an open slot for the night or nights you want to do. Performers who wish to do multiple nights will be given priority.
For anyone wanting to do aerial work, our ceiling is 12ft tall, so it is not suitable for anything that is too high up.
There will be tech rehearsals in February, and performers will be given a tour of the space once selected.
Performers will be paid $50, but will also receive tips from the audience that will be divided up at the end of the night. There is also the chance for bonuses based on ticket sales.
