SUMMARY:GIRL DOLLS: The American Musical
DESCRIPTION:Presented in collaboration with The Bearded Ladies Cabaret and FringeArts\, GIRL DOLLS is part tea party\, part identity crisis—a deep dive into our country’s favorite doll franchise in search of the stories that got left out of the dollhouse. Through original songs\, nostalgic PowerPoints\, and serious research™ disguised as musical comedy\, Jackie\, Pax\, and an all-star band rip open the seams of American girlhood to ask: What does your favorite doll reveal about your childhood trauma? Is Samantha Parkington a sleeper agent for the American Project? And most importantly: When everything else about America feels awful\, why can’t we let go of their tiny doll hands? Bring your doll\, and come ready to laugh\, cry\, and cringe our collective way down memory lane!

SUMMARY:assimilating and Moving State 1
DESCRIPTION:Hiroaki Umeda’s choreography and eye for digital design have been celebrated throughout Europe\, Asia\, South America and the U.S.\nCritically acclaimed for his almost impossibly fluid movement style bordering on street dance – subtle\, radical\, and provocative – his dance pieces frequently synthesize ultramodern video\, dramatic lighting and crackling soundscapes as interlocking components interacting with moving bodies on stage. Now\, this slick avant-garde mastermind brings a double bill of his latest cutting-edge projects from Tokyo to Philadelphia. \nMoving State 1\, performed by four protege female dancers from Umeda’s Somatic Field Project who have fully absorbed his sleek\, oiled movements and assimilating\, Umeda’s signature solo performance\, operate within a dance aesthetic where refined physicality merges with cyberart. \nThe U.S. five-city tour of Hiroaki Umeda: assimilating and Moving State 1 is produced and organized by Japan Society\, with support from Arts Council Tokyo (Creation Grant) and The Harkness Foundation for Dance. \nPresented in association with the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia as part of the lead up to The 2026 Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival of Greater Philadelphia. \n“Engaging…  Like a tin man with oil flowing freely through his veins…” — The New York Times\n\n\n“Cool\, minimalist\, high-tech hip-hop…” — Infinite Body\, Eva Yaa Asantewaa

SUMMARY:Let's Make An Album!
DESCRIPTION:LET’S MAKE AN ALBUM! is a new immersive performance series by Philadelphia pop-punk outfit Happier Than Ever\, attempting to break down the wall between artist and audience. Join the punk trio as they lead an evening of songwriting essentials\, guiding the audience through the process of crafting a song from initial idea to the first draft. Featuring vocalist and guitarist Jaden Alvaro Gines\, bassist Charlotte Horansky\, and drummer Connor Gotham\, the band will guide the audience through traditional songwriting structure\, lyrical storytelling\, and investigate the choices that are made behind each step of the songwriting process. Through audience suggestions and collaboration\, the band will create a full length song from start to finish LIVE on stage each night\, with the audience credited as songwriters! By the end of the performance series\, the hope is to create a small album’s worth of music to be released following the completion of performances\, with the audience members being given writing credits. The goal is to erase the line between the artist and the musician\, and begin the audience’s participation in the work from the very beginning. Part performance\, part workshop\, part improv show- get your notebooks and pencils ready\, because it’s time to make an album!

SUMMARY:5 Stagehands Fall Out of a Closet (the goose crisis)
DESCRIPTION:An avante-garde model\, a professor of botanical poetry\, and a paranormal investigator walk into a bar. Ouch. \nThey proceed to the back of the Trestle Inn\, where\, hidden behind an ominous curtain\, shapeshifter Grace Lazarz unleashes a bevy of lovably grotesque characters into the intimate Go-Go purgatory. \nLazarz and director/collaborator\, Michael Amendola\, invite the audience to follow a whirligig of comic delirium while a chorus of 2 57 13 … 5 stagehands try to piece together a psyche with bubblegum and bum notes… before time runs out. \nGet your steps in\, lewk mortality in the eye(s)\, and discover the beauty of aging car mechanics and mutated pig innkeepers. “5SFOOAC(TGC)” is an absurdity that will stay with you until your cosmic punch(ouch)line. \n*Characters created by various imbalances. \n********************************** \nGenre: Comedy\, Theater \nContent Warnings: Adult Language\, Audience Interaction \nADA Accessible Venue

SUMMARY:new heaven new earth
DESCRIPTION:Bold Afro-Centric reimagining of Antony & Cleopatra returns after sold-out Philly Theatre Week Debut \nShakespeare in Clark Park (SCP)\, in collaboration with Upstream Performance Collaborative (UPC) and Cannonball\, presents new heaven new earth\, a bold\, revisionist Afrocentric adaptation of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra by multidisciplinary artist Rayne. Directed by SCP Producing Artistic Director Shamus and featuring live music by Karen Smith\, this allegorical work blends ancient history with poetic futurism\, as Cleopatra faces off against a soothsaying Crocodile on the edge of empire and asks “when peace demands war\, what will you become\, and for whom?” Following an oversold\, one-night premiere at Philly Theatre Week\, new heaven new earth continues its development with two staged readings at The Proscenium at The Drake\, running September 1-16\, 2025. \nThe reading stars a host of Barrymore Award recognized talent and Shakespeare in Clark Park alumni including Kishia Nixon as Cleopatra\, Ross Beschler as Marc Antony\, STARFIRE as Charmian & Crocodile\, Adam Howard as Octavius et al\, Dante Brattelli as Enobarbus et al\, and Katherine Perry as Octavia et al. Live percussion is performed by Karen Smith\, a 2023 Pew Fellowship recipient known for her percussion-based collaborations and leadership of The Karen Smith Experience and Sistahs Laying Down Hands. \nnew heaven new earth was commissioned by Shakespeare in Clark Park in 2024 as part of a season-long initiative to develop original works in direct conversation with Shakespeare’s text and uplift Queer\, Trans and Non-Binary voices. Rayne’s plays have been produced or developed with Primary Stages\, Theatre Exile\, Azuka Theatre\, PlayPenn\, and more\, supported by the Leeway Foundation\, Independence Foundation\, and the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. Shamus’s directing credits span Shakespeare in Clark Park\, Boston Playwrights’ Theatre\, the Playwrights’ Center\, Pridefest at the Tank\, and the Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway Festival. \nFor more information\, visit www.shakespeareinclarkpark.org or follow us on social media.

SUMMARY:Buen Camino
DESCRIPTION:Susan has a perfect life\, a perfect love\, and perfect happiness. When she suddenly undergoes an unexpected loss\, her perfect life ends. \nConsumed by excruciating pain\, she finds it impossible to imagine any future worth living. Until\, on an ordinary trip to the grocery store\, she hears The Voice. The trouble is\, Susan doesn’t believe in Voices. And yet\, when The Voice tells her to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain\, she obeys despite knowing nothing about this ancient pilgrimage. \nWith only her pack and her pain\, Susan begins a journey through unrelenting rain and temperatures that rarely get above 50 degrees. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides\, a little bit of magic\, and the Camino itself\, Susan must face her past to have any hope of creating her future. \nAlone on stage\, she becomes 23 characters to take the audience on her solitary walk through 540 miles of rain\, resentment\, and redemption. Buen Camino is a moving story about grief leading to surrender\, and ultimately to freedom.

SUMMARY:"My Uncle Sam" at Philly Fringe!
DESCRIPTION:PHILADELPHIA\, PA: All the way from Chicago\, Marc Frost of Theater Unspeakable is bringing a true labor of love dedicated to his vaudevillian ancestor and to all who dreamed before us. This year\, My Uncle Sam is coming to Cannonball Festival\, an official hub of Philly Fringe. My Uncle Sam which follows the life of a remarkable Russian Jewish immigrant who became an international vaudeville star in the early 1900s and was present at some of the most pivotal parts of the early nineteenth century\, opens Wednesday\, September 24th at 6:30PM at Maas Building Studio (1320 N 5th St. Philadelphia\, PA 19122). \nBorn in Russia in 1891\, Sami Silverstein joined a wave of turn-of-the-century immigrants who came to America seeking a better life. After a near-death experience as an aviator\, he returned to his love of building bicycles which eventually landed him on a vaudeville stage as Sam Barton of the Barton Bros. act. Marriage\, family and an international career all come careening towards a spectacular yet tragic ending as he dies backstage at Radio City Music Hall in New York on the eve of World War II. Written and performed by Marc Frost\, directed by Jeremy Aluma\, and based on a true story\, My Uncle Sam combines tongue-in-cheek humor and a dash of derring-do\, and this one-person show recreates an era of great ingenuity\, triumph and heartbreak. \nTheater Unspeakable presents\nMy Uncle Sam\n9/24\, 6:30PM\n9/25\, 8:00PM\n9/26\, 5:00PM\nMaas Building Studio\, 1320 N 5th St. Philadelphia\, PA 19122\nTicket price: $25\nTickets available at phillyfringe.org

SUMMARY:Speak English
DESCRIPTION:SPEAK ENGLISH\, a 60-minute solo performance debuting at Cannonball as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival\, is created by Vanessa Kamp\, an artist based in Barcelona.

SUMMARY:Cloud Baby at Cannonball
DESCRIPTION:Cloud Baby knows weather. He feels all of it. That rainstorm the other day was totally exhausting\, right? But he really wants to know: do you feel it\, too? He really needs to know.
