Superhero Boy Band is an inter-disciplinary performance project that has emerged through collaborations between members of Vancouver’s critically acclaimed Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret and Bellingham’s Dream Science Circus. Superhero Boy Band produces theatre shows that promote personal transformation and community empowerment. They achieve this through parodying superheroes and boy bands, and by raising questions on perfection, propaganda, and the shortcomings of dualistic perspectives (“good vs evil” and “love vs hate”).

Jones and David MacMurray-Smith has been refined and presented to audiences in Bellingham, WA, and Roberts Creek, BC and numerous venues in Vancouver.
