EAST ROCK SUMMIT
Come one!
Come all!!

Ferris Wheel all day!
Bicycling for Ladies at 4pm!

Bring a picnic!
Bring your kids!
Bring it! (cause we certainly plan to)

The roads in East Rock will be closed to cars, but you can ride your bike up or there will be shuttles running from the top of ORANGE ST (at English St) from 9am till the show’s over. Our cast will include some of the fabulous performers from B4L at the Cabaret plus some new faces including the inimitable Ken Robinson. Let us know right here if you need more info!

It’s official!

We’ve just gotten word from the leaders of our fair city that Bicycling for Ladies will be an official part of the New Haven Cycling Celebration at East Rock Park. Our performance time is still TBA, but clear your calendar for Sat. July 19. Come early and stay all day!

Watch this space for more information.

Big thanks to the friends of the Ladies at City Hall!

Hey everyone. Good news for us, almost all of our shows for the upcoming weekend at the Yale Cabaret are sold out. Sadly, that’s bad news for anyone just finding out about the show or just getting around to buying tickets.

Saturday late is your best bet–there are still some seats available for then. And you might get lucky if you come by the night of a show; someone may have not come and there’s a chance we’ll have some standing-room seats. Still, to guarantee a seat, Saturday at 10:30 is your best bet.

Go to the Yale Cabaret website to purchase tickets.

And thanks to everyone for your fantastic support. We’re really excited to put on this show for you.

Rehearsals are in full swing, our resolve is intact… we’re doing this thing!

The show starts at the Yale Cabaret in a week’s time, Thursday Oct 18, at 8:00pm.

There are also shows Friday Oct 19 and Saturday Oct 20 at 8pm and 10:30pm.

For the Cabaret After Party on Friday the 19th, the Mountain Movers are set to play. If you come for the 10:30 play, you get in to the midnight rock show for free! (Thanks to Carlos and Safety Meeting Records for help setting up the show.)

Click here to go to purchasing for the show. The Saturday nights tend to sell out first, but we’re working hard to get a full house for all five shows, so grab those tickets soon if you plan to come.

Hey everyone!

Bicycling for Ladies has performance dates for the Yale Cabaret’s autumn season!

Look for us in that esteemed space on October 18, 19, and 20.

Thursday night show–8pm

Friday and Saturday nights–8 and 10pm

The Yale Cabaret is in the process of updating their website to include software that will allow you to purchase your tickets ahead of time. No more losing your reservations if you show up fewer than 30 minutes early! (Though you should still come early to enjoy the food, drink, and atmosphere.)

Bicycling for Ladies will correspond to some biking fun in New Haven (probably a race). We’re working on getting a discount for people who come by bicycle. So please come! This is the real deal–no more readings! Flying people! An orchestra! Actual bicycles on stage!

More information to come!

People in Rhode Island! Please come see some scenes from Bicycling for Ladies performed at the Fledgling Festival at the Perishable Theatre later this week! As part of the festival, we’ll be doing two 15-minute selections of story and song from the show.

Fledgling : Perishable

Perishable Theatre is located at 95 Empire St in beautiful downtown Providence, next to AS220. The shows start at 8pm and will feature 6 or 7 other short acts, in addition to Bicycling for Ladies. Hope to see you there!

“There was a liitle girl,
She had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she got the vote, she was very good indeed,
But when they kept it from her, she was horrid.”

Ride on!
