Varietae has been producing original theatrical spectacles in Boston since 2005. Staged mostly in bars, these shows are a musical mash-up of comedy and drama, from the absurdist to the burlesque. Varietae chronicles the time/space trapezing aventures of extra-friendly extra-terrestrial Vice V'Ersatile. Vice has trapsed and trampled through human history to party with the swinging-est of historical figures, from Caligula to Camus. Vice first brought Varietae audiences into the cosmos with the Varietae In Space Thrill-ogy, a 3-episode popera set agaist civil strife on his home planet of Hihowaya. Varietae embarks on a bold new episodic adventure with this performance of STARFLY."
