Check out how the Vaudevillains New Years Brigade repurposed large canvases as backdrops for their performance at the 2018 Mummers Parade! The title of their skit this year was “The Party Artery.” The heart, veins, and blood work to nourish the parts of the body equally, but nefarious germs and diseases invade and attempt to block access to health for power and profit. White blood cells come in to defend the body but are briefly overwhelmed until all parts of the body work together to fight off the disease-causing agents.

The canvases were initially salvaged from an artist’s studio back in October of last year. The artist, Alex Da Corte, contacted us looking for a way to keep these materials out of the landfill and put them into the hands of the creative community.

Now some of these canvases have found a new purpose, and we’re told they’ll be repainted and used again for future Vaudevillains New Years Brigade skits!
