Great Bends at The Philly Fringe
2025-09-22 20:00 - 22:00, 2025-09-20 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-09-19 21:00 - 23:00 | Studio 34, 4522 Baltimore Ave
In a near-future teetering on the edge of climate catastrophe, Great Bends tells the story of three friends and former activists navigating the complexities of life, loss, and an uncertain future. Set against the backdrop of relentless flooding in their hometown of Great Bend, Kansas, the play delves into the personal impact of climate change and the ways it reshapes relationships, dreams, and identities.

As Ness visits home, she reconnects with Ona and Ben, whose lives have changed in unexpected ways. Ona has become involved in a movement that challenges traditional ideas of family, while Ben works on the front lines as a “waterfighter.”

Great Bends explores urgent themes of climate uncertainty, the weight of birth and loss, and the tension between personal choices and global crises. Through intimate conversations, the characters confront the scars left by natural disasters, rekindle old bonds, and grapple with decisions that shape their futures in an unstable world.

Great Bends will premiere as an immersive dinner theatre. Every ticket invites you to join these friends in a homecooked meal provided by Floorwork Arts Collective. Please note given the nature of this show, we will be unable to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Please email floorworkco@gmail.com with questions.

Jaffna is an acoustic, ethnic fusion ensemble that plays original music. This Philadelphia-based world music ensemble combines instrumentation and influences from the Middle East, India, and anywhere else that inspires them. With roots in the early 1990s, the group maintains its distinct style with original compositions and improvisations that stretch the boundaries of their respective cultures. Jaffna has produced 2 CDs of original music and its members maintain a high level of activity in many world music projects such as Barakka, One, Hindugrass, Arehm and Atzilut.
Jaffna musicians have created a musical universe with oud, guitar, tabla, and dumbek, where they can all argue, eat and stay good friends. Along with the strong Mid-East and Indian flavor come unmistakable flamenco, rock, Balkan, and jazz influences, the result of jamming in and around the vibrant Philadelphia world music scene for years.

Opening on Sunday, September 21, Calder Gardens is a new cultural destination that honors the legacy of Alexander Calder, a leading 20th-century artist and native Philadelphian. The space unites Calder’s art with architecture, nature, and activations that nurture different ways of thinking, feeling, and understanding.
The opening parade begins at noon at LOVE Park near City Hall, which features the famous bronze statue of William Penn by Calder’s grandfather Alexander Milne Calder. It continues along the Parkway, past the landmark Swann Memorial Fountain by Calder’s father Alexander Stirling Calder, and concludes in Maja Park near Calder Gardens with a free concert at 1pm by the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra.
The parade’s lineup features an unprecedented ensemble of Philadelphia-based performers and artists, including Pig Iron Theatre, Almanac Dance Circus Theatre, Mad Beatz Philly with youth drumlines, and Brazilian percussion ensemble PHonk!. Together, these artists will activate the city with music, movement, theater, and spectacle, guided by Arto Lindsay’s conceptual framework for the event.
The idea of a parade is deeply rooted in the history and spirit of Calder Gardens, honoring the Calder family’s ancestry in Philadelphia and the city’s vibrant arts scene. Staged on the Parkway and free to all, the parade celebrates collaboration, experimentation, and impermanence—values that were central to Calder’s own work and will guide the programming at Calder Gardens in the years ahead.
Commissioned by Calder Gardens, the event is conceived by Lindsay, an artist, musician, and producer whose work blurs boundaries between music, performance, and visual art. Chaos and Kisses takes its name from his original score for the occasion, which shapes the flow of the parade while leaving room for individual experiences and encounters. “Everyone knows what to expect from a parade,” Lindsay says, “which makes it the perfect place for the unexpected to appear.” By collaborating exclusively with local artists and communities, Lindsay and Calder Gardens emphasize the importance of collective creation and place-based cultural production.
Please note: Calder Gardens opens September 21, the day after the parade. While supplies last, parade attendees will receive vouchers for free admission (redeemable for six months during available time slots).
