SHAMBOOM!

SHABOOM! created by Silky Shoemaker, Lex Vaughn and Paul Soileau, is a spectacle teetering at the edge of disaster. Sharing a mind of anarchy and absurdity, we create environments and actions of pleasure and liberation for our audience. SHABOOM! is not just an experiment with failure, but a jubilant funeral procession for the notion of success, driven by maddening determination and an impressive lack of good judgment. SHABOOM! is theatre for the masses that forces culture and critique through the clown horn of queer slapstick.
