UNBECOMING
a cabaret of Shakespearean proportions.

Becoming Carlotta-B is confusing AF

For the Ultimate Feminist Shakespearean Contemporary Leading Lady, coming to New York City in 2022 from Elizabethan England in 1593 has been both a blessing and a curse.

On the one hand – women are boss ladies!

They’re allowed to read and write and needlework is so five hundred years ago. On the other hand – Carli-B can’t find any decent hemlock and the Supreme Court has just made life medieval for people with vaginas.

Join Carlotta-B in a protest for freedom that is full of frivolity. Shakespearean Cabaret is mischievous artistry – cooking up a poetic salve for today’s woes.

Written and Performed by Carla Kissane with musical arrangements by Andrew Patterson & Ben Kiley, our creative team will serve you up a cocktail of musical mashups that is designed to let freedom ring!
