Club Dada (in difficult times)
Created by Ellen Foley & Robert I Rubinsky
Two ancient vaudevillians hang in a surreal Dada world, somewhere outside time and space. A duo lost, trapped by memories of past glory and by outside forces, they keep on belting out tunes and hoofing into eternity. This is CLUB DADA.
“I love it, you’ll love it - but it’s not Shakespeare”
- William Shakespeare
“Best thing since Andalusian Dog”
- Man Ray
“I think it really good”
- Jill Williams (Ellen Foley’s sister)

Fatal Attraction, Hair, Blue Oyster Cult, Tootsie, hausfrau, Pandoras Box, Married to the Mob, etc, etc. “Get the picture”? “Yes, we see”
