Wandering Aesthetics’ Electric Pressure Cooker Presents…
“Bigger Than a Breadbox: The News/Speak Edition”
A Knight Arts Project

Join Wandering Aesthetics at Summit Artspace in Downtown Akron for another powerful “edition” of Bigger Than a Breadbox, Akron’s rousing variety show.

Building on the success of Wandering Aesthetics’ reoccurring Electric Pressure Cooker Cabaret (#EPCooker), Bigger Than a Breadbox is a vaudeville-style variety show that harkens back to one of the earliest forms of entertainment available to Akronites.

ABOUT “The News/Speak Edition”

Akron is Peace
Akron is Freedom
Akron is Strength

On March 16th, the Akritical Report goes live!

“News/Speak”, the fourth #AkronBreadbox production, features a diverse array of local artistic talent as they “report on” some of Akron’s biggest news stories. Or all of this could be… “FAKE NEWS”.

This live vaudeville performance explores Akron’s deep journalism roots and celebrates some of Northeast Ohio’s most talented artists.

Featuring dance, theatre, music, sketch comedy, poetry, art (and a few surprises), this variety show has something for everyone!

Come early to grab a drink and visit a fine selection of local art and craft vendors!
