Samantha Rise: Get Pegged at Fringe Arts

Get Pegged is an alt-cabaret series. Designed as a platform to explore and expand notions of cabaret as inflected through performance art, dance, comedy, and art song -- in the past 3 years we've had artists including Penny Arcade, the Illustrious Blacks, Joseph Keckler, Erin Markey, Raja Feather Kelly, Joey Arias, Morgan Bassichis and Justin Vivian Bond among others. Set in La Peg (housed within the same building/campus as our theater) this series encourages experimentation within an intimate environment that fosters direct interaction with the audience.

The Sway of Rivers at Emerald Wildflower Garden

As part of the 2022 Forest Green concert series, I’ll be performing in a new band, led by my dear friend, Matt Davis. Featuring 2 guitars, 2 singers, 2 percussionists/drummers. This will be our first performance, featuring mostly new music - I hope you can join us!

Matt Davis, guitar
James Melton, guitar
Samantha Rise, voice
Emily Zeitlyn, voice
Doug Hirlinger, drums + percussion
Trevor Rogers, drums + percussion

This is an outdoor performance in a beautiful garden, with lots of street parking. The $20 admission also comes with snacks and wine.

This is an outdoor space with no access to a restroom, no stairs or doorway for entry. Masks are strongly encouraged, and I’d also encourage you to bring anything that will help you navigate an evening outdoors in Philly- comfy chair or blanket, application of bug spray before you arrive, etc!

If you’re feeling the least bit poorly, please take care from home, and test as you’re able to stop the spread of new Covid variants.
