WHAT IS CHIFFEROBE?Chifferobe is a boutique production company, which specializes in period-inspired entertainment and soirees such as speakeasies, sideshows, and circuses, among others. We invite performers and revelers alike to join us in stepping out of time in order to suspend our collective belief and re-imagine the past, thus creating a fantastic (but fleeting) living installation. In addition to booking entertainers of all varieties from across the country, Chifferobe also has an in-house dance company, The TropiGals. From bands and circus artists to solo dancers and large group numbers that float on the edge of performance art, Chifferobe Entertainment references a time when the silver screen required triple threat talent and Hollywood was as it will always remain in our collective memory: a place of dreams, glitz, and glamour.
