An outrageous lesbian pop musical satire inspired by the pop frenzy of the early 2000s, QUEENS OF DRAMA charts the rise and fall of new star Mimi Madamour and her passionate, rage-fueled love affair with punk icon Billie Kohler. Over the course of half a century we follow these drama queens as they top the charts and set sail on the course of mad queer love. Featuring an iconic cast, including Asia Argento and Alma Jodorowsky, and containing hit songs like ‘Don’t Touch’ by Yelle and ‘Fisted to the Heart’, this film vividly dissects the turbulence of toxic relationships—whether between fans and their idols or within passionate queer love affairs. Director Alexis Langlois brings their trademark glittercore pop-punk aesthetic to create a vibrant, unforgettable spectacle of music and passion.

The International Ventriloquist and Arts Festival, AKA VentFest
Blair Carman brings the fire, the fury, and the finesse of the one and only Jerry Lee Lewis to life! With his authentic 1950s honky-tonk, rockabilly, and boogie-woogie piano-pumpin’ rock ‘n’ roll, Blair doesn’t just play—he commands the keys with white-hot intensity, lightning-fast licks, and a voice that echoes the raw energy of the golden era.
From the wild pounding of “Great Balls of Fire” to the driving rhythm of “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” this isn’t just a tribute—it’s a time machine back to the days when rock ‘n’ roll was young, rebellious, and untamed. If you’re ready for a high-octane, foot-stompin’, hip-shakin’ throwback to the Killer himself, Blair Carman delivers the real deal—pure, unfiltered, electrifying rock ‘n’ roll!

Classic Rock, Live Shows, Music
The Ultimate Doors was formed with the intention of preserving The Doors’ music and performances as well as bringing an authentic experience to the old and the new generations of Doors fans.
With great attention to detail, The Ultimate Doors provide their audiences with an authentic looking and sounding tribute to Jim Morrison & The Doors. Every piece of equipment on stage is exactly what The Doors used in the 1960s from the instruments and amps to the clothing and microphones. The Ultimate Doors leaves no stone unturned in bringing an authentic Doors tribute show to the stage.
The four musicians within the Ultimate Doors who take on the roles of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore do not take the job of portraying their idols lightly. They bring a professional, high-energy, authentic production to the stage night after night in order to transport their audiences back to the late 1960s.
Two exciting, improvised trios featuring musicians from St. Louis, Chicago and Bloomington.
ALL-AGES
________________________
Alex Cunningham (violin, STL) / Damon Smith (double bass, STL) / Jerome Bryerton (drums, CHI)
While all of this trio has been to Bloomington, they have never performed here all together. Jerome and Damon performed alongside Ortet last fall at Russian Recording, but Alex has not been since 2017. All seasoned improvisers, this trio will conjure wild sounds together, composed on the fly. Damon has been a student and explorer of the upright bass for decades, also running the label Balance Point Acoustics. Jerome and Alex are both accomplished visual artists as well. Jerome is a print-maker and painter, and Alex creates collages that are just as kinetic as his playing.
