Why settle for the same old flowers and chocolates when you can spend your Valentine’s Day weekend with Bubblegum’s House of Broken Hearts? Promising “the most beautiful freak show you’ve ever seen,” House of Broken Hearts offers a real celebration of Nashville’s vibrant artistic community, showcasing everything from puppetry and dance to comedy, drag and more. There’s a Tunnel of Love projection installation, and comedian Grant Collins has created a campy puppet menagerie. Gemikal and JJ will be on hand to share their signature blend of spoken-word poetry and jazz saxophone, while storyteller Justin Luis is presenting a piece with choreography by Jasmine Clark. Maddie Hicks is debuting a number from her upcoming musical Fairy Floss, and Hannah Dorfman will be serving up juicy monologues while dressed as an anatomical heart. There’s a Dare to Fail film showcase, and Never Sent has created an immersive collection of unsent love letters. Presented by Bubblegum Productions, it’s wacky, sweet and whimsical — it’s pure Bubblegum. And with a different lineup at each performance, audiences can look forward to a one-of-a-kind experience with every show.
Feb. 12-14 at the Darkhorse Theater
