Trans Voices Cabaret
The Trans Voices Cabaret: Minneapolis Edition lead by Sandbox Company Member, Hal Sansone.
The Trans Voices Cabaret was started in NYC back in 2017, by transgender performer Donnie Cianciotto (he/him). Cianciotto saw a lack of transgender voices in the theater world and wanted to create a space to not only celebrate transgender talent, but to highlight and showcase it for the world to see. This production has expanded across the country, and we are thrilled to bring it to Minneapolis.
Although we are working with preexisting material, in many ways the Trans Voices Cabaret supports new ways to play and a commitment to expanding our community. Our approach to the songs are original and uplifts voices typically left out of musical theatre practices. Further, this event is entirely, and proudly, trans ran and operated. Come out to celebrate and support trans individualism, community, and joy!

The Swingset
The Swingset is the aerial wing of Sandbox conceived and developed by Evelyn Digirolamo. Aerial theatre radically opens up the vertical space of the stage, creating the opportunity for a performer’s physical vocabulary to expand in new and imaginative ways.
Play has always been the heart of Sandbox’s work — The Swingset is one more way we’re exploring new languages for storytelling, and bringing with it a sense of joyful theatricality and wonder.

If you’d like to know more, or have questions on aerial training, you can email Evelyn at evie@sandboxmn.org.
These activities are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
