Dear Philly Fringe Goers,

While your (other) father and I are enjoying a period of rest, we hope you're seeing other weird, wild and wonderful performance art all over town.

Check out what's happening at Cannonball Festival if you need ideas.

We look forward to our refreshed return to perform "Lions" at The Proscenium at The Drake this Thursday, Sept. 18, at 6pm.

Then again on Fri., Sept 19 at 8:30pm
Sat., Sept 20 at 12pm & 9:30pm
and Sun., Sept 21 at 12pm & 7pm

Then that's it. We take to our beds and bid you adieu. That's not a lot of chances to spend time with your father(s).

If you haven't gotten your tickets yet.... now would be a good time.

Affectionately,
Dad
