In from L.A. for one night only: Comedian Alex Clark returns to his New England roots to polish his next special.

From his father passing away on Halloween (in front of his sister dressed as a giant carrot) to his son racking up a $12,000 ER bill by roaring like a dinosaur, in Jokes From The Brink, Alex shares his unhinged life the only way a New Englander knows how: by ranting like a lunatic.

With 4 million YouTube subscribers and half a billion views for viral hits like Guns Explained with Cats, Alex has mastered funny ways of oversharing.  A four-time festival people's choice winner and Streamy nominee, his last stand-up tour sold out in 23 cities.

Reviews
“A gut-busting act”
“A genius at engaging the crowd”
“Fans have begged to bring Alex back”

Inspired by Robin Williams, Bill Burr, Mike Birbiglia, and a mountain of dinosaur-related medical debt, join Alex for the funniest breakdown in comedy history.  All proceeds will go to debt collectors.

Our region is home to Choro Camp New England, which offers musicians an opportunity to dive deep into the study and practice of one of Brazil's oldest and most beloved musical traditions – Choro. Every year, “Choro Noho” gives area residents a taste of what the artists teaching at Choro Camp have to offer. This year’s concert of Samba and Choro features the instrumental group, Água de Moringa, joined by vocalist Mariana Baltar.

Based in Rio de Janeiro, Água de Moringa has been together for over 35 years. While known for their versatility, the group’s foundation is in traditional Choro, a fact reflected in their instrumentation: 6 and 7-string guitars, cavaquinho, pandeiro, bandolim and clarinet. With ten albums to their credit, Água de Moringa has performed and taught throughout Brazil as well as in France, Portugal and Colombia. Vocalist and dancer Mariana Baltar performs frequently with the group, and in 2019 recorded an entire album with them, Os Arcos – Paixão e Morte, a tribute to composer Aldir Blanc. Come enjoy an afternoon in Rio, right here at Bombyx!

sweet prince is a one-woman interactive Hamlet.
This production uses a pared-down version of Shakespeare's script to investigate depression, what it means to be “mad,” and grief. At the same time, it joyfully invites members of the audience to participate as the missing characters. In Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet recruits actors to help him prove his uncle is guilty of his father’s murder. Can this Hamlet recruit members of the audience to help her successfully tell this version of the story? Will they act when called upon? Perhaps they’ll even experience a transformation, a spark of new courage, a curiosity to be.

The tour is co-produced by Culture Lab LIC and supported by generous donors through Fractured Atlas.

As the woman tries to reintegrate this wild voice, she wrestles with her sanity while being diagnosed with a growing feral condition. Within the protection of her domelike dress, domestic acts are disrupted by ancestral visitations and dreams of wolves.

The world-renowned ukulele virtuoso returns to Storrs with his groundbreaking artistry, masterful technique, and innovative spirit. Born and raised in Honolulu, Jake began playing the ukulele at age four, then quickly developed a unique style that pushed the instrument far beyond its traditional boundaries. He first gained international recognition after his jaw-dropping rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral. The video introduced millions to the ukulele’s untapped potential. Shimabukuro has since released numerous acclaimed albums, collaborating with legendary artists including Bette Midler, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jimmy Buffett.
