about Heat
This show is entirely commissioned. That means, all of the artists have produced brand new work related to the theme heat. That means, the musicians will be playing a song or two on the theme, etc. We’re talking 4th of July weekend, back of my neck feeling dirty and gritty, skin sticking to skin, taking off sweaters, falling in love, fire and warm wind and sand and the asphalt is melting and everyone smells terrible and wonderful. Please please join us in celebration!
