About the Show

Poetry Cabaret Collective is a troupe of poets, dancers, and musicians creating wild and intelligent shows that challenge norms and enlighten minds. Poetry Cabaret began in 2012, organized by poets Caleb Beissert and James McKay. Since then, iterations of the Poetry Cabaret have enthralled audiences at such venues as Capital Fringe, Asheville Fringe Arts Festival, The Magnetic Theatre, and Staufferstadt Arts.

Content Awareness: This performance is intended for adults. Themes may include strong language, sexuality, and violence.

About the Partnership

This performance is part of an ongoing collaboration between Asheville Fringe Festival and Asheville Community Theatre. Each month, Asheville Fringe takes over 35below to present innovative, genre-defying work from local, regional, and national artists. The partnership transforms 35below into a home for adventurous performances and new artistic voices.
