well, at least the monsoon won’t stop us from preparing for some of the most exciting summer entertainment coming down the proverbial Perishable pike. Here’s an encapsulated look at what we have got going at 95 Empire Street!
*Sunday June 10: Acoustic Concert series LIVE/WHIRLED at 3pm
*Supported Artists presentations June 9-24
*Cool Resident Artist event-SNAPPY DANCE
*Help us rack up the pennies with GOODSEARCH
Recently, I asked mandolinist extraordinaire Marilynn Mair to create a concert series that was out of the box. What she came back to me with is LIVE/WHIRLED, an acoustic concert series that pairs two disparate musicians or groups each playing a set of their own music, followed by an OPEN JAM with whoever brings instruments. The second concert in the series is this Sunday June 10 at 3pm. One set will feature Fishel Bresler and Shelley Katsh playing klezmer and original music and the second set features percussionist Bob Moses doing what he does best- make a beat! Tickets are $8 and can be reserved by calling 401-331-2695 ext. 101 For the press release of the event, go to http://perishable.org
SUPPORTED ARTISTS are those artists or companies in the community who are dedicated to the creation of new performance, but who don’t have space. Perishable opens up its doors and rents the space at a way below-market rate so that the artists and you, the audience, get to meet in the best way possible. There are two great events happening in June:
June 8, 9 Theatre Expansion’s Dancestravaganza. Dancestravaganza is a concert featuring contemporary dance, movement theatre and performance art from local and regional artists of unique talent. The event provides vital performance and networking opportunities to its participants, while uniting up and coming artists with veteran companies and performers. For more information or tickets- email info@theatreexpansion.org
and June 14-24, the premiere of Midnight Mass, the 2007 Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Playwriting Merit Award winning script by Nancy Hoffman, directed by Resident Artist Peter Deffet. To quote its press release, “MIDNIGHT MASS is a comedy that celebrates the power of faith, dreams, dueling religions, and plenty of pints.”

COOL RESIDENT ARTIST ALERT-
First off, all of our Resident Artists are Super Cool (soon Perishable will announce the additions to the 07-08 roster!), but sometimes, Resident Artists have such a wonderful event going on, that I have to pass it along. I highly recommend going to see Perishable Theatre Resident Artists Bonnie Duncan and Tim Gallagher in the SNAPPY Dance Theater 10th Anniversary Dance concert at the Virginia Calderwood Pavilion, Boston Center for the Arts in Boston. Not only is it wonderful to see SNAPPY dancers remounting some of the highpoints of the last 10 years of their innovative, funny choreography, but the premiere of String Beings is one of the best integrations of live performance with multi-media I have yet to see. There’s puppetry, acrobatics, live feed video, and Tim doing a shoulder stand with the first violin of the Boston Symphony Orchestra sitting on his feet, PLAYING!!! tickets are available through http://www.snappydance.com
