Rochester, NY based performance art’s troupe, Hooplah Troupe, is excited to perform at the 2022 Rochester Fringe Festival Friday September 23 at 8:00pm and Saturday September 24 2022 at 4:00pm and 8:00pm at Aerial Arts of Rochester. Tickets are now on sale for $18, $15 for seniors and veterans at rochesterfringe.com, where more information is also available.
This show follows two groups: the punks and the funks. One night, a punk falls for a funk, something unheard of! Things go south until both groups realize they have a lot more in common than they thought. This show highlights the importance of individuality but also community. The show features stilt walkers, aerial artists, clowning and maybe even you… Yeah you! Come enjoy a show that features some of the best disco hits from 1975-1985 and “let’s groove tonight!” - Earth Wind and Fire. Directed and written by Kiendra Simpson. Assistant Directing by Camille Collins and student directing by Macrina Jeary and Audrey Dejoy.
“I have had such a fun time directing my first ever fringe show. This show makes me excited for the future of my performance opportunities and I am so excited to share it with you all!” - Macrina Jeary, Student Director (15, a sophomore in high school).
More about Rochester Fringe Festival: From its five-day debut in 2012, the 12-day Rochester Fringe Festival has become the largest multidisciplinary performing arts festival in NYS and one of the top three attended Fringe Festivals in the U.S. More than 500,000 people have attended nearly 4,000 performances and events at the Rochester Fringe Festival since its inception. It is one of about 250 Fringe festivals in the world, with Edinburgh being the original Fringe. Rochester Fringe Festival’s mission is to offer a platform for artists to share their creativity and develop their skills while also providing unparalleled public access to the arts. The Fringe strives to be diverse and inclusive, and to stimulate downtown Rochester both culturally and economically. It features international, national, and local artists. From comedy to theatre, from music to dance, from visual art and film to spoken word, and from children’s entertainment to multi-disciplinary collaborations, the festival’s diversity also extends to venues that span the gamut from parked cars to grand theatres. The 2019 Fringe featured more than 650 performances and events – over 200 of them free – in 25+ downtown venues and broke all previous attendance records with more than 100,000 visitors.
