Philly Fringe: "BE GOOD!" WITH PAULETTE
2025-09-06 18:30 - 19:30 | Asian Arts Initiative, 1219 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, United States
“BE GOOD!” WITH PAULETTE
An absurd character comedy show about the strangeness of good manners, presented as part of Philly Fringe’s Cannonball Festival
Introducing the mildest man imaginable. Don’t ask about his black eye.
Paulette stumbles into a theater full of the most people he’s ever seen, and he doesn’t know whether to panic or mingle. Sporting a brown sweater and a hot-off-the-fist black eye, he dares to approach the stage armed with nothing but an arsenal of pleasantries, a pocketful of charm, and a monumental fear of rejection.
Audiences to date have described Paulette as “petite,” “crow-like,” and “not the sharpest, but definitely the nicest.” With any luck, Philly Fringe viewers will shower similar praise on his neatly combed head.
Certified clown Daniel Maseda makes his solo debut with this unsolicited evening of giddy small talk madness that can’t help but be different every night. One thing is for certain: this show has something for anyone who just wants to scream at a polite person.

Aurora Classical [https://auroraclassical.org/] was founded in 2015 to create classical music without all the perceived pretense that can get in the way of its enjoyment. Our dual goal is to make the classical music repertory accessible to all, whether to first-time listeners or experienced audiences, and to provide opportunities for our talented local artists. We believe everyone can enjoy classical music, and we strive to give freelance musicians the opportunity to share that joy as much as possible! Our name was inspired by a newspaper publication founded by Benjamin Franklin Bache called the Philadelphia Aurora. Bache was a grandson of Benjamin Franklin, and his paper stood for the rights of “plain folk.” Our focus is on sharing quality music with low-income communities. Classical music is for everyone regardless of your budget!
