[PARTY] Just your basic dance party with costumes, music, candy everywhere, and the dead, no big deal. The party’s been going on for six years strong now, to benefit the cutting edge work done by Torn Space Theater, a theater and performance production engine that continues to churn out post-industrial paeans for the dead, undead, and the barely alive. Buffalo loves its theater, and Torn Space simply can’t put on its run of shows at the Adam Mickiewicz Polish Library and Dramatic Circle and its summer spectacles at Silo City without throwing its big damned Prom of the Dead party, with this year’s theme being gold. On Saturday, October 22, the elegant ballroom of Dnipro Ukrainian Cultural Center will be transformed into a gilded age throng of the beglittered dead, with prizes awarded for the most gloriously gilt. Photos of golden dead prom couples will be made available at the event, the music will go all night, and of course there will be performers, provocateurs, and merry makers. Doors open at 9pm, and your first drink comes with admission. Like many Torn Space events, this party will pool the talents of the city, and blur the lines between audience and performer and still never for one second stop being a party.
