Reenactments of wars past and depressed times are prevalent...and overdone. Bloody fields where stately speeches are delivered are constant reminders of every assassination and holidays of death anf discrimination are well covered. And the world is dark, full of sadness, and depressed, hopeless, anxiety-filled people who have become addicted to feeling numb.
Heartache...the world is more if you search.
But, where might you go and step into a Chicago Speakeasy during the Roaring '20's for a night of dancing and bootleg whiskey? Where can you attend a Masquerade Ball in Parisian decadence or a sultry Burlesque with an Absinthe and can-can dancing parade? Why can't you wander upon a gypsy circus caravan and watch dancers sway around a roaring fire and dance, clap and sing along, and have your fortunes told while dining on a spit-roast hog and wine until you fall asleep under a warm, summer moon?
Why must you always escape into a world where actors and actresses provide the embodiment of the fantasies that you, yourselves, desire? We create these moments so that you may live them for yourselves - with authenticity and as imperfectly as they were at there original time and, be certain, you will have them in your hearts, always... rather than merely on your bank statements or some forgotten playbill or ticket stub from the performance you sat and passively attended at the theatre or cinema.
Is it really the experience you hoped for when you watch another pretend to live it on stage or screen? Wouldn't you prefer to say, rather KNOW, you lived it?
This is what Chambre au Choix offers - the chance to be the leading ladies and gentlemen on the stage - but we will set the stage for you. No script or auditions. You need only to attend. We honor the beautiful, forgotten past and, in doing so, create levity, magic, laughter, and joy for the present and future.
Chambre au Choix promises moments you will hold close to your heart for a lifetime.
