The show

Velvet Revival is a multi-disciplinary live performance themed around the opening night of a club during prohibition. Our resident theatrical production is two acts (45 min) with a 15 minute intermission.

We work with live events to bring individual acts, adapted production, or ambient entertainment that elevates guest experience.
