southside speakeasy
benefitting the young adults in ArtsQuest’s B-Smart Program

Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010
6-9 pm

The Banana Factory arts center
25 W. Third St.
Bethlehem, PA 18015

Listen up all you guys and dolls. This joint’s the real McCoy!

Between 1920 and 1933, the Noble Experiment, more commonly known as Prohibition, was the law of the land. These trying years also gave birth to the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Despite, or perhaps because of trying economic conditions and social political upheaval, art and culture as well as creative entrepreneurism exploded in America.

And the Southside of Bethlehem was no different...

On Thursday, September 30th, join ArtsQuest for a swingin’ night of food and fun featuring:

The Speakeasy Café – showcasing live jazz and "prohibited" libations
Dancing to swing and big band artists
Delicious eats featuring ingredients popular in the ’20s
Silent movies and parlor games hosted by "guest" dealers
Silent auctions with opportunities to bid on our tasty Musikfest® and ArtsQuest™ Center experiences as well as a VIP trip package.
Commemorative mug shots
Shakedowns by the "police." Bring some dough to bribe the officers.

This event’s sure to be the cat's meow, and proceeds benefit the young adults in ArtsQuest’s B-Smart Program!
