8x8 Cabaret Du Jump

What do we want when it’s hot, vacation’s almost over and a season packed with holiday madness looms just around the turn of a calendar page? Why, we simply want to spend an evening in a cool space, being entertained by a delightful array of San Antonio artists and the confections they’ve whipped up for us. 8 X 8 returns to Jump-Start with eight 8-minute performances in an 8-foot cube and plays Saturdays, August 8 and 15, 2026 (a different show each evening) at Jump-Start Theater, 710 Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, Texas 78201. Doors open at 7:30 and performances begin at 8:00. Admission is choose-what-you-pay: $0 or $8. Tickets are available at https://dojour.us/e/92513 or find them at www.jump-start.org Seating is limited. For more information, call 210-227-JUMP.
Cabaret du Jump is a decades-long Jump-Start tradition. Originally the cabaret was a means for Jump-Start company members to experiment with performance ideas at artistic retreats, which often led to the development of full-length productions. In 2014, Jump-Start decided to invite community artists and audiences to join the company for a Cabaret du Jump presented on an 8’ x 8’ stage. An open architectural cube now serves as the 8’ X 8’ X 8’ playing area.
Artists for this year’s 8 X 8 include Familia Bernal, Daniel Jackson, Marisela Barrera, Juan Pablo Robesgil, Space Dragon, Chabriely Rivera Roldan, Skit Marks, Giomara Bazaldua, Paul Harford, Capoeira Luanda & Ilê Bahia and more!
