A BENEFIT TO HELP ROULETTE!

 

On December 6th and 7th at Roulette, we’ll be hosting a fundraiser to help raise money for Roulette as we prepare to move into our new home in Downtown Brooklyn. Our new space is a 1920’s art deco concert hall with a capacity of over 600 people, a floor for Dance, and much more. We’re planning a sound art gallery for the front – however, we still need to raise $150,000 by the end of the year to fund construction of the gallery. Please come and show your support for Roulette and its new home at this important fundraiser. Each evening will feature performances by 4 or 5 of some of New York City’s most exciting downtown improvisers!
