The contraband has been ordered, authorities paid off, and performers lined up for a New Year's Eve speakeasy ball in a historical former church with soaring ceilings and wraparound balcony. Expect the intimacy of a daring cabaret mixed with the intrigue of a vintage costumed ball, expansiveness of a warehouse dance party, excitement of live brass, a splash of fine cocktails, and just a dash of illicit adventure and unpredictable moments. Delightful drinks by The House of St Eve and other treats. Custom vintage-themed buttons to VIPs/first 75 guests by Bad Buttons. Show kicks off at 9pm with enchanting and atmospheric silent shorts evoking a bygone era curated by Boston Underground Film Fest.
