Special Event: Rhys Nicholson
Rhys Nicholson is a Multi-award winning Australian stand-up, writer, actor and collage.
With an enormous passion for live performing, their work continues to receive awards and accolades around the world. As well as numerous televised stand-up performances in Australia, the UK and Canada, in 2019 Rhys was hand-picked to open for comedy legend Conan O’Brien on his Australian tour. A few months later this led to Nicholson’s USA television debut as the stand-up guest on CONAN (TBS). 2019 proved to be quite a big year for Rhys (which is lucky because 2020 and 2021 were a bit of a nightmare) when in November they recorded their third stand-up special. This time for Netflix worldwide, making Rhys one of only three Australians with a solo show on the streaming giant and earning them a nomination for Best Stand Up Comedy Special at the AACTA Awards in 2021.
Alongside a booming stand-up career, Nicholson is a favourite across our small screens. From panel shows to documentary and acting roles, he clearly doesn’t like to sit still very much. Over the years Rhys has had a whole bunch of guest and supporting roles in a plethora of sitcoms across networks and countries. In 2021 Rhys was cast as a series regular in the Netflix Sci-Fi comedy The Imperfects. Rhys was very excited about the fact they had a stunt double. You can also catch them on the judging panel of all three seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under.
Not to let something like a devastating global health crisis from keeping them busy, the last couple years have seen Rhys continue to rise. From co-opening Melbourne’s newest live comedy venue, The Comedy Republic (Rhys cannot recommend you do that during a pandemic), to numerous acting roles and now setting their talents writing a book of essays, Nicholson is focused on continuing to work and diversify in the comedy industry they love so much.
2022 continued to raise the bar for Nicholson’s career where they hosted Melbourne International Comedy Festival All Stars Gala (ABCtv) & toured across Australia with brand new live stand-up show Rhys! Rhys! Rhys!. Rhys garnered multiple sold-out seasons and won prestigious awards: Most Outstanding Show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival & Best of the Fest at Sydney Comedy Festival. Rhys then took the critically acclaimed show abroad where they performed at the renowned and invite only Just For Laughs Montreal, followed by Edinburgh Fringe, London Leicester Square, Soho Playhouse New York, Just For Laughs Toronto and a month-long US Tour.
2023 has proven to be a monumental year for Rhys, seeing them perform a nationwide encore tour of the award-winning and critically acclaimed show Rhys! Rhys! Rhys!. Performing a sold-out show at Melbourne Town Hall for one last showing of this amazing hour. Most recently, Rhys has been announced as one of the contestants for season two of Network 10’s Taskmaster
Australia, premiering in 2024. Rhys’s first book Dish: Spiels, Scoops, Emotional Outbursts and the Occasional Recipe, published through Penguin Random House Australia was released November 2023. To round of a massive year, Rhys has also collected 3 nominations for the 2024 AACTA Awards, for Best Stand-Up Special, Best Comedy Performer, and Best Reality Program with RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under.

Teacher Workshop | Finding Our Souls in the Storytelling Art of Jerry Pinkney
“One of the things I’m always interested in is to see how does a person visually read a story. One of the intents I’ve always had in my work, and am very curious to see, is what happens after people leave the gallery and what story they have to tell through my storytelling…I always ask that the viewer invest their own story into my image.” - Jerry Pinkney Stories have long been one of the most powerful ways we come to understand ourselves and the world around us. In this workshop, teachers will explore Jerry Pinkney’s retellings of fables and stories through close-looking activities and discussion strategies designed for classroom use. Participants will examine how Pinkney uses imagery to convey values, character, and life lessons, while practicing approaches that help students interpret images, support their ideas with visual evidence, and reflect on both the artist’s perspective and their own experiences. We will focus on Pinkney’s illustrations and retellings of the Aesop fable, The Grasshopper and the Ants, and The Tales of Uncle Remus, as told by Julius Lester. Uncle Remus tales also raise questions about interpretation and the influence of racial attitudes over time. The retellings of Lester and Pinkney reclaim these narratives by centering their African American origins, restoring their complexity, humor, and resilience, to resonate across generations. $20/teacher; Provides 3 Act 48 Credits

Michael Prentky’s
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse
Album Release Tour 2026
with
co headliner
Ira Khonan Temple
(based in NYC)
Boston trombonist Michael Prentky is bringing his 12-piece orchestra across the Northeast U.S. and Canada, performing his debut genre-defying album.
From January 17 - February 28th 2026, Boston-based trombonist Michael Prentky will tour his debut album,
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse
, across the Northeast U.S. and Canada. His orchestra includes a string quartet, 4 trombones, tuba, and rhythm section. Prentky will conduct, play trombone, sing, and recite original poetry. In addition to performing the entire album, Prentky will be premiering new original Klezmer compositions. He’s bringing a fresh perspective to Klezmer music with his high-energy trombone band and harmonically-rich compositions while staying rooted in Klezmer traditions. He'll be teaching audiences traditional corresponding Yiddish line dancing, such as the
zhouk
(aka
hora
) and
terkisher
,
with the intention of reviving endangered dance steps.
Tour dates include La Sotterennea (Montreal, QC), The Phoenix Gallery (Waterbury, VT), AS220 (Providence, RI), Stone Circle Theater (NYC), the Rotunda (Philadelphia, PA), and ZUMIX (Boston). At various shows, Prentky will be joined by
Kallisto
,
Ira Khonen Temple
, and
Jose Soto’s the Ancestral Call
.
“The subject matter is intense, but Prentky’s music is as satisfying as it is daring” – Noah Schaffer WBUR
It’s an “adventurous extravaganza… Frank Zappa would’ve loved it” – Mike Greenblatt, Beyond Genre, Goldmine Magazine
“Deep revealing of some personal feelings on these tracks, it’s a very nice work” – Ken Field WMBR

About
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse
:
Six years in the making, Boston trombonist Michael Prentky’s debut album,
sad boy:ADD:apocalypse,
is an epic, Zappa-esque suite for small orchestra – string quartet, four trombones and rhythm section. This mammoth odyssey is Prentky’s unwavering commitment to authenticity. The writing is lush, emotive and cathartic. Prentky’s sonic worlds showcase his eclectic interests: dreamy Beach House guitar riffs, avant-pop orchestral strings, breakbeat klezmer, pacific brass chorales, confessional poetry and raucous instrumental frenzies. Prentky conducts the orchestra, plays trombone, sings, and recites original poetry.
About Michael Prentky:
Michael Prentky’s freelancing on trombone can be summarized in three words – chameleon, omnivore and polyglot. Navigating performances with rapper 50 Cent, Mozambican Funk band Kina Zoré (featured on NPR Tiny Desk), avante-garde jazz with the Walking Cliché Sextet, or Balkan Romani music with Sarma Brass Band requires an adventurous and flexible musicianship. It’s this musical synthesis that Prentky crystallizes in his artistic debut,

In-person! Screening: Variations V and RainForest David Tudor/Merce Cunningham collaborations on Film, Part 1
Bowerbird
presents Screening: Variations V and RainForest David Tudor/Merce Cunningham collaborations on Film, Part 1
David Tudor’s musical partnership with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company spanned nearly five decades, from the company’s founding in 1953 until Tudor’s death in 1996. As a founding member, Tudor served not only as a virtuoso performer of revolutionary piano works but also as an essential collaborator in shaping the company’s sonic identity. Working alongside John Cage, Gordon Mumma, Christian Wolff, and Takehisa Kosugi, Tudor helped pioneer a radical approach to the relationship between sound and movement—one in which music and dance coexisted independently yet in the same time and space. This screening, the first of two film programs dedicated to Tudor’s work with the Cunningham company, presents “Variations V” (1965) and “RainForest” (1968).
PROGRAM:
Variations V (1966) | 49:05, black & white, sound, 16 mm film on video
Choreography: Merce Cunningham. Director: Arne Arnbom. Music: John Cage, “Variations V.” performed by Cage, David Tudor, and Gordon Mumma. Distortion of TV images: Nam June Paik. Film images: Stan VanDerBeek.
RainForest (1968) | 28 min, color, sound, digital transfer
Filmed by D.A. Pennebaker (Leacock and Pennebaker) as part of the 1968 Buffalo Arts Festival’s program “Who’s Afraid of the Avant-Garde.” Choreography: Merce Cunningham. Music: David Tudor, “Rainforest.” Costumes: Jasper Johns. Sets: Andy Warhol.
ABOUT THE FILMS
First composed and performed in 1965, Variations V is a true testament to 1960’s experiments with “intermedia”—a coexistence and cutting across of artistic genres that profoundly informed Cunningham’s choreographic practice. Video is materially integrated into the performance, with projections by Stan VanDerBeek and overlaid TV distortions by Nam June Paik enveloping the dancers. Twelve sound-sensitive electronic poles dot the stage; sound is triggered by the dancers’ movements and then altered or delayed by the musicians. Variations V predates Cunningham’s “video-dances,” demonstrating a different moment in his relation to the technology.
A kind of explicit, corporeal engagement with video as medium is reflected in the performance’s sound component. Sound, like video, exists in this dance visually and even kinetically. The viewer of this 1966 archival performance gains access to the locus of sound production, seeing John Cage and David Tudor perched over a wide spread of electronic equipment. Cunningham pays attention to the musicians’ movements in his 1968 book Changes: Notes on Choreography, their “constant scuttling” moving “back and forth on the platform to fix things, wiring that came out, a plug, etc.” The performance moves dialectically between its phenomenological whole and the “varied” elements of sound, video and dance that constitute it.
Unlike most of Cage and Cunningham’s collaborations, sound and movement are more technically codependent than autonomous in Variations V. Cunningham writes in Changes, “John decided to find out if there might not be ways that sound could be affected by movement, and he and David Tudor proceeded to find out that there were.”

Josh Gondelman is a writer and comedian who incubated in Boston before moving to New York City, where he currently lives and recently worked as the head writer and an executive producer for Desus & Mero on Showtime. Gondelman also contributed to the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which was a thrill for both him and his parents.

His debut standup special People Pleaser (2022) was produced by Comedy Dynamics and is available to stream now.
If his face seems familiar, you may recognize it from his appearances on Conan (TBS), Late Night With Seth Meyers (NBC), and The Late Late Show with James Corden (CBS). But you may also know his voice from his regular appearances on the NPR news quiz show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. Gondelman is also the author of the essay collection Nice Try: Stories of Best Intentions and Mixed Results published September 2019 by Harper Perennial. And, if you remember this far back, he was the co-creator of the popular Modern Seinfeld Twitter account.
Josh’s album Dancing On a Weeknight came out in 2019 on Blonde Medicine Records. (His prior album Physical Whisper debuted in March of 2016 at #1 on the iTunes comedy charts (as well as #4 on the Billboard comedy chart) and stayed there for…well…longer than he expected, honestly.)Additionally, Gondelman is also the co-author (along with Joe Berkowitz) of the book You Blew It, published October 2015 by Plume.

Abigail Guidry is an artist, poet, and memory worker living in Philadelphia, PA, with their two tortoiseshell cats. Abigail is co-founder of the sibling collaborative Guidry Press, where they make zines and artists’ books alongside their brother. When they aren’t reading poetry at local open mics, they can be found watching horror movies and learning new crafting techniques.
Rowan (they/them/themme) is a creature primarily focused on poetry and painting. Rowan believes in the accessibility of art and aims to foster community connections through authenticity and kindness. They can be found either performing at and/or hosting many of the open mic nights in South Philadelphia, and their written works appear in New Jersey’s Soup Can Magazine, Los Angeles’ Fruit Slice Magazine: Rituals, Philadelphia’s CollideZine: Issues 8 & 11, and will soon be published in New York’s newest Slut Zine(2026). In June of 2025, Rowan used their art and poetry to raise over $1K, most of which was donated to The TransLifeline, and the rest was sent directly to the Philly community. Rowan believes in the power of connectivity that comes from people sharing their lives freely, and they hope their work will inspire others to do the same.

Mario will film his debut hourlong special in January 2026 before embarking on an even bigger international tour, “The Superior Comedy Tour,” in clubs and theaters across the globe. Based out of Los Angeles, Mario is one of the hottest new comics and you don’t want to miss his European charm.
