Drinks, music, and conversation at Touchstone’s home theatre — a late-night watering hole where Festival attendees can meet and talk about the day’s performances.

The Cabaret Stage is loosely based on a concept that our Dictators 4 Dummies touring troupe experienced at the Human Mosaic Festival in Goleniow, Poland. Every night, their amphitheater stage featured the music, theater, dance, and culture of a different international group.

In that spirit, our Cabaret Stage (located in Touchstone’s back parking lot) will be a place where our festival-goers, workers, and performers can gather at the end of the day to take part in conversation and revelry (there’s gonna be beer), while an eclectic mix of the Bethlehem area’s coolest artists entertain us from a wagon-themed stage (think the vaudeville freak show wagon-train troubadours just rolled into dodge). From night to night on weekends, you can stop by to find poets, singer-songwriters, DJs, actors, and even drag artists doing their thing.

It’s the “I-gotta-be-there-every-single-night-to-see-what-happens” stage. It’s CABARET.
