This Wednesday TheatreNOW has the most stacked, talented lineup you’ve ever seen on one show. The Primetime Variety Show is welcoming comics, poets and a hula hooper (Yeah! It’s sick) to raise money for StepUp Wilmington. StepUp Wilmington helps land people in decent, well-paying jobs. You can come to see these amazing performers and help out a great cause at the same time.

This month we’re being treated to spoken word poetry Israel, The 5th Horseman and Livity, the Poet. Lew Morgante’s bringing the funny Tess Supplee is bringing the hoops (Again, Sick!) and we’ll have many more talented artists through our open mic sign-up. All acts are welcome!

Don’t miss this night! Let’s do something special for this great cause. It’s $5 at the door and you can also reserve tickets online here.
