An annual evening of shameless ecstatic lushness - using Kate Bush's craft as the source material! Join us for a night of music, dance, theatrics, film and revelry. Over *90* performers take the stage! Followed by a dance party to all your favorite witchy bangers. Now in our 12TH YEAR, 1000 Kates is a night of all manner of performances inspired by Kate Bush's vast catalog. Since 2014 over 700 performers - mostly hailing from Philly - have contributed their magic to this truly epic event.

Accessibility: The venue and bathrooms at Underground Arts are accessible. Patrons requesting accessible seating and/or other accommodation should email the venue in advance of the show at info@undergroundarts.org 

1000 Kates asks that all attendees wear a mask when not eating or drinking.

BE IN THE SHOW!! CALL FOR PERFORMERS!!

Who can apply: Anyone and everyone who feels called to. We generally try to lift up Philly folks, or those who have a connection to this city. However, if you are not from Philly, do not let that discourage you from applying!

You *do not* need to be a seasoned performer to apply. Over the last 11 years hundreds of people of all skill levels have taken the stage. Their acts have included dance, camp, drag, comedy, music composition, spoken word, DJing, living sculptures, bands, choirs, videos and/or spectacle.

The APPLICATION is simple. All applications are due 11:59 PM, Friday December 12, 2025.
