Powhaus Productions is the crew that brought you events like The Glitter Ball, POP: A Tribute to Andy Warhol, and Tulle: A Tribute to Alexander McQueen. They are taking over the Rialto Theatre downtown for Second Saturdays starting February 11 where they will be celebrating the Arizona centennial and the gem show with Arizona Gem.
Powhaus Productions joining Second Saturdays
Powhaus will produce a monthly event (and starting much earlier than previous Powhaus events--at 6pm) entertaining you with their variety shows: Djs, video artists, bands, hosts, and other performances. Each show will still be crafted around a particular theme and, as always with Powhaus events, everyone is welcome to participate, in costume or not.
Each Second Saturday show will have two parts. From 6pm-9pm the show will be FREE and will feature a soul music dance party (think The Supremes, Gladys Knight, Curtis Mayfield, etc). For those of you who have wanted to go to Powhaus parties, but they ran too late for you, here is your answer. Feel free to come and lounge or dance.
After 9pm, $5 gets you in the door for a full on production with live music, hosts, video art, drink specials and the usual shenanigans you have come to expect from a Powhaus show. Only Powhaus is aiming to amp it up even more. Party goes until 2am.
