Insidious takes place every fourth Thursday of every month at The Crucible. Featuring live dance performances, custom light show and visuals!

The next Brand Spankin’ Newbie Night is September 24th! We have a full cast of brand new performers trying out burlesque for either the first time, or with only a couple performances under their belt. Presented by Cherry Popper (yes, cherries will be popped). Come show these performers some love and support!

The MC for the evening will be someone very familiar with the stage, but new as host and co-producer. The talented Onyx Omen!

These amateur stages are where many of the Madison and nearby area performers got their start. Each individual brings a completely unique piece of art to the stage, and this safe and approachable space will let that creativity grow. And if you are a producer out there, here is where you may find your next cast.

Brand Spankin’ Newbies is a quarterly show. The next one is Thursday December 3rd - if you’ve ever wanted to try out burlesque, this is your chance!

Crucible is thrilled to welcome back ULTRA SUNN, w/ support from Soft Vein. ULTRA SUNN is a Belgian electronic music duo from Brussels, blending EBM, darkwave, coldwave, new beat and goth music into a dark, hypnotic and powerful sound.

$20/25 • 7PM doors, 8PM show • ages 18+

He screams out his lungs while his brain slowly rots!

project .44: Project .44 is an industrial rock band from Chicago, Illinois with past and current from both Ministry and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. The band was signed to Invisible Records in 2005 and released the ear blistering 'The System Doesn't Work' later that same year - a Nationwide headlining tour followed as well as a support slot for Pigface on the "Free For All Tour'.

In May 2020, the Los Angeles/Minneapolis-based record label Give/Take released a 15th Anniversary remastered edition of project .44's Invisible Records debut, The System Doesn't Work on translucent red vinyl (a deluxe edition featured the remix album The System Reworked). Later, in December 2020, the label followed up with a remastered version of project .44's debut Look Me In The Eye on CD.

In December 2021 the band released their 3rd record (the storm before) reform on WuLi/INGrooves (digital and CD) and on vinyl and cassette with Phage Tapes.
