It’s back, baby! This year the eight foot Cube features 8 eight-minute creative performances back on the Jump-Start stage. The show will take place on August 13, 2022 at 8:00 PM during the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower. The meteor shower gets its name from Perseus, the constellation where the meteors seem to originate from. And, while it might be difficult to watch the shower from your front porch, you can catch a smashing performance of 8 Shooting Stars taking the Jump-Start stage .

  As one of our longest traditions in the company, 8x8 serves as a platform for San Antonio’s finest community legends and up-and-coming artistas. We are thrilled to be showcasing a night of teatro, performance, drag, dance, music, y quién sabe qué! The evening will be hosted by Duva Lynn and feature: Karma Korture, Florinda Flores-Brown, Jac Que, Robin and Carlos Bernal, Holly Nañes as Sofia the Clown, Sal Salcedo, Sweet Paloma and Zombie Bazaar Panza Fusión. 8 X 8 CABARET DU JUMP 2022 is curated by company members Clint Taylor, Sarah Tijerina, Lilith Tijerina and community artist Gio Lugo. 

  Cabaret du Jump is a decades-long Jump-Start tradition. Originally, the cabaret was a platform for Jump-Start company members to experiment with performance ideas at private artistic retreats. The process was a lot of fun and often resulted in the development of full-length productions. Jump-Start decided to invite community artists and audiences to join the company for a Cabaret du Jump as one of the first performances to take place on the stage at Jump-Start Theater on Fred Road, but the stage was tiny: 8’ x 8’. This was also fun.  Eventually the cube was constructed and now serves  as the playing area for the show.
