Vaudeville for a new age

The hobo cabaret that is the Yard Dogs Road Show brings its merry band of sword swallowers, dancing dolls, fire-eaters, live music and hippie-cowboy poets to the Sebastiani Theatre on Jan. 16 and 17. The self-described “union of ancient theatrical alchemy and modern pop culture” is a carnival of “transient artists under the influence of poppy tea and wishful thinking.” Both shows start at 7:30 p.m. Reserved seating tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door.
