Today we are featuring R***e Fringe Sneak Peek guest act "babybird." https://fringepvd.org/babybird.html
Babybird is a funny, fast-paced show filled with song and references to Midsummer Night’s Dream, that invites us to question what it means to feel lovable and likable. As Paige's twenty-fifth birthday approaches, the fear of being universally disliked creeps in. She turns to a psychic for guidance and discovers an opportunity to manipulate those around her.
This group is sure to delight with music and maybe even a psychic reading! Catch their sneak peek at The Empire R***e: Bigger Better Faster Harder - get your tickets today!!!

Up next in our FringePVD guest act lineup is Insider Ballroom! https://fringepvd.org/insider-ballroom.html
"Glamour! Passion! Capitalism? Professional Ballroom dancers Michael and Holly present Insider Ballroom. A combination of Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz dance styles, interwoven with personal experiences from their work in the mainstream ballroom industry. With tales of selling lessons through the decades, demonstrations of virtuosic partner dancing, and through their own manner of queering the binary, Holly and Michael invite you to witness the many ways they navigate the field of American Dancesport."
Can't wait to see their sneak peek at The Empire R***e: Bigger Better Faster Harder! Ticket link in comments!

Rhode Island’s premier sketch-comedy showcase!

Rhode Island’s longest-running sketch-comedy showcase, the Empire R***e picks apart a new theme each month with original sketches and songs darting hilariously between pithy and poignant, lofty and low-brow, satirical and generous, warm and idiotic. Amplified by a live house band and palate-cleansed by a handful of guest artists (comedians, musicians, dancers, and whatevers), each show’s inviting energy builds to a curated explosion of performance.

Since 2006, Keith Munslow has directed the Empire R***e, led its house band, and assembled its wildly creative ensemble of writer/performers. The process has rolled continuously ever since: start with a theme, write a bunch of material, rehearse it into shape, perform it the first Sunday of the month – and repeat. Some 150 shows, thousands of sketches, and several hundred songs later, it’s a finely oiled contraption that periodically breaks from routine to write and perform full-length musical plays, including the 2018-19 smash hit “Benny’s: The Musical.”

The Empire R***e takes place the first Sunday of every month* at 7pm, AS220’s Mainstage in Providence, RI.
