Sat 9/24 @ 8PM
Electric Pressure Cooker, a project of Akron’s scrappy little Wandering Aesthetics theater troupe, is headed out of town — to Kent, where it will take place at Standing Rock Cultural Arts.
EPC is a sort of odd-duck open mic event in which any person or group can register to perform any type of performance. It could be music — acoustic performance or full band — dance or movement-based, performance art, improv, monologues, comedy, poetry, a reading — anything you can conjure up. Each performer gets a 12-minute slot. A sound system, drum kit and keyboard are provided. Akron comedian Chad Weaver will emcee this edition. Those under 18 can perform with an adult in attendance.
Performer registration starts at 7:30pm (or you can pre-register online) performances start between 8-8:30. It’s $5 or pay what you can. Wine will be available and you can bring your own food and drink as well.
