House opens at 7:30 / Show begins at 8!

Marlo Winter and Luz Gaxiola created characters Richard Begaldix and George Lamps for an Antiques Roadshow themed aerial variety show in spring of 2021 where George juggled porcelain beaver figurines, Richard appraised them, and they fell in love. After that they appeared as sandwich salesmen, song and dance men, and arms dealers in Lord Franzannian’s Royal Olympian Spectacular Vaudeville Show in 2021 and 2022. Marlo and Luz created their full-length show Falsettos and Sunsets in December 2023 with the intention of lampooning polyamory culture in a thoughtful way through clowning and risque humor.

Falsettos and Sunsets is the story of Richard Begaldix and George Lamps, a pair of cartoony cool guys who fall in love and stumble through the world of polyamory with outrageous physical comedy, startling emotional honesty, and slapstick existential confusion. 

No kids allowed- Falsettos and Sunsets contains explicit comedy for adults only

Luz Gaxiola (George Lamps) is a clown and musician based in Olympia, Washington. She studied at the Dell’Arte School of Physical Theatre, The San Francisco Clown Conservatory, and The Flying Actor Studio. Luz was a founding member of Circus Finelli, a Bay Area clown ensemble that performed multi-lingual comedy with live music. She teaches clown and mime at Sparrow Studios and currently works with Duo Finelli, Clowns Without Borders, and String and Shadow Puppet Theater.

Marlo Winter (Richard Begaldix) is an aerialist and clown, playing with a unique style of wild vulnerability and bright-eyed debauchery. They are a founding member of Airbound Underground Circus Collective, an aerial instructor at Sparrow Studios, and a producer of The Brotherhood Takes Flight, a local 13-year-running aerial show. They’ve been performing in Olympia for over a decade, and in that time performance has become a place of physical storytelling and cathartic experience. They’ve learned the power of softening the edges of technique, tuning into authentic presence, and seeing what wild shit arrives.
