Tickets are available now at crackedopentheplay.com.
CRACKED OPEN will launch a weekly post-show talkback series in partnership with the non-profit organization Artem Vale, focused on fostering dialogue around mental health, family, and care. These Tuesday evening conversations will follow the 7:00 PM performance and feature experts, advocates, artists, and those with lived experience.

Upcoming Talkbacks Include:
June 3 – Hayden Grove - is a Cleveland-based vocalist known for his appearances on The Voice and performances across Northeast Ohio. A lifelong lover of the Great American Songbook, he began singing standards as a child and trained at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. After stepping away from music to pursue sports journalism, Grove rekindled his passion upon moving to Cleveland, becoming one of the city’s most sought-after vocalists. He has released three albums, performed with major orchestras, and even caught the attention of his idol, Michael Bublé, on TikTok. Grove made his national TV debut on The Voice (Season 27) with a performance of “Mack the Knife” and joined #TeamAdam.
June 10 –Jack Crawford is a retired NFL defensive lineman whose decade-long career spanned multiple teams, including the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, and Arizona Cardinals. Born in London and diagnosed with alopecia universalis at age seven, Crawford moved to the U.S. as a teen and discovered football at St. Augustine Prep. He earned a scholarship to Penn State, where he became a standout defensive end. Selected by the Raiders in the 2012 NFL Draft, Crawford became known for his versatility on the defensive line. After ten seasons, he announced his retirement in 2022. Crawford is also recognized for his advocacy around alopecia awareness and as a trailblazer for British-born athletes in American football.
June 24 –Lori Raijman and Kristen Collins, founders of Arts of Healing - Their co-founder Dr. Isaac Raijman is an esteemed gastroenterologist by day, and a painter by night. Dr. Raijman's (then) hidden talent was his refuge after a grueling day at work. It became the bridge it built between him, his patients and his colleagues.What they discovered is that physicians had incredible talents within the arts: some sing opera, perform in theatrical performances, are incredible artists - and this helped their mental health and well being during their day jobs!

AVAILABLE NOW! LISTEN HERE |
Operation Mincemeat and Sony Masterworks Broadway today released a special live recording of “Dear Bill,” the breakout Broadway showstopper hailed by Vulture as “the best new song on Broadway.” Captured live at London’s Fortune Theatre, the release is in celebration of the Olivier Award®-winning Best Musical’s four Tony Award® nominations: Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score, and Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Olivier Award® winner Jak Malone, who delivers the powerful ballad as MI5 secretary Hester Leggatt.
Inspired by a real letter written by Leggatt in WWII, “Dear Bill” tells the story of a heartfelt message to a fictional lover—placed on a corpse as part of a top-secret British intelligence ruse. While the mission has long been credited to agents Ewen Montagu (played by Natasha Hodgson) and Charles Cholmondeley (played by David Cumming), the musical shines a spotlight on Leggatt’s previously unsung role. Since the show’s debut, fans have unearthed Leggatt’s true identity—officially recognised by MI5 in 2023. This rediscovery culminated in the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at the Fortune Theatre, attended by over 1,000 fans. To mark the occasion, Sony originally released the “Dear Bill” live recording as a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl on International Women’s Day last year, which sold out instantly.
Since then, “Dear Bill” has become one of the most talked-about moments of the Broadway season and became the fastest-growing, most-streamed track on the cast album over the past month. Produced, arranged, orchestrated, and with musical direction by Grammy Award® winner Steve Sidwell (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), the song is written and composed by SpitLip —Cumming, Felix Hagan, Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts.
“Dear Bill” Live From the Fortune Theatre, is available now – listen here.
This release follows Malone’s performance of the track on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show last week — available to watch here.

7) NEW PERFORMANCE WORK/ EXHIBIT
Presented June 6–8, 2025 alongside the exhibition, Soft/Cover
The Fabric Workshop and Museum, 1214 Arch Street
The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) is pleased to announce Noise See and In Two, two new performance works by Chicago-based visual artist and choreographer Brendan Fernandes (b. 1979, Kenya). Coinciding with the exhibition, Soft/Cover, the series of performances takes place Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8 in simultaneous presentations across FWM’s second and eighth floor galleries.
Fernandes, who identifies as multinational and queer, has written these choreographic scores in exploration of the visibility and invisibility of queer bodies. Developed during the artist’s FWM residency, the new works feature dancers engaged in acts of hide and seek and of bodily transformation through interaction with a set of curtains, soft sculptures, and costumes created with the FWM Studio team as part of the artist’s residency.
Noise See
Second Floor Gallery
In Noise See, Fernandes debuts a new live performance commissioned by The Fabric Workshop and Museum that investigates themes of visibility, protest, the legacy of empire, and embodied resistance. Central to the work are vibrant quilted tapestries crafted as costumes, made in collaboration with the FWM Studio. These textiles of vivid red and blue plaid recall dress that is commonly associated with contemporary Maasai culture in Kenya yet rooted in British colonial influence. Performed as a duet, two dancers engage in a choreographic dialogue—merging and separating, concealing and revealing—through their bodily interaction with one another and their own biomorphic form as they inhabit their costume. The performers activate the double-sided tapestries throughout the space, evoking their transformation into blankets, shields, protest banners, cloaks, second skins, and sculptural forms. These dynamic textiles become agents of action, shaping and being shaped by the dancers' movements.
Noise See reclaims a colonial textile legacy and transforms it into a site of protest, protection, and presence. Here, Fernandes insists that silence is not absence but a resonant and radical form of resistance.
In Two
Eighth Floor Gallery
Commissioned by the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in 2024, Fernandes worked in collaboration with FWM’s Studio team to create an installation of curtains and soft sculptures to accompany an exhibition of the work of the artist Scott Burton (1939–1989) on view at the Pulitzer from September 6, 2024–February 2, 2025. In a series of duets titled In Two, Fernandes has written dance scores that take Burton’s furniture sculptures as a point of departure to explore the duality of display and concealment in gay cruising culture—ideas that Burton had pursued throughout his career. Fernandes integrates specific gestures—“flip the wrist,” “clasp arm to the breast”—directly from Burton’s choreographic notes.
Taking inspiration from Window Curtains, a work in FWM’s collection that Burton created during his own FWM residency in 1978, Fernandes worked with the FWM Studio to create a new set of curtains to be activated by his choreographed performances. Screenprinted on cotton muslin, the curtains feature flesh, steel gray, and blush-colored fingerprints left on a phone screen. For the artist, these smudges are suggestive of texting or swiping left or right in dating apps—a digital form of cruising. Soft Touch I and Soft Touch II, a pair of soft sculptures designed by Fernandes to resemble polished stone, complement and contrast with Burton’s hard materials. Using images of actual Burton benches, the FWM Studio team created the surface of these stuffed artworks through a digital printing process on cotton canvas. In performances of In Two—first presented at the Pulitzer in 2024 and now making its East Coast debut at FWM—dancers use the curtains and soft sculptures as props as they oscillate between concealing themselves and seeking one another.

The Philadelphia based brewery is also re-releasing their charity brew exclusively at their taproom. This strawberry blonde ale dubbed “#LoveisLove'' is set to be re-released this Pride Month and helps raise funds for The Trevor Project, a national LGBTQIA+ community program.
At the heart of their Pride festivities is #LoveisLove, a strawberry blonde ale that benefits the Trevor Project with every pint. The 6.0% ABV beer begins with a simple malt base of pale malts and wheat before being delicately hopped with Warrior Hops. Then the Philadelphia-based brewers hit it with just the right amount of natural strawberry flavor to produce a crisp, clean, and easy-drinking beer that’s perfect for the warm, summer weather. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of #LoveisLove will be donated to The Trevor Project, a national, charitable organization that provides resources to at-risk LGBTQIA+ youth. This year the beer will be available exclusively at their Philadelphia taproom.
The beer will be released as a focal point of their upcoming Pride Block Party on Saturday, June 7th from 12-7pm outside their taproom located on the 1700 Block of North Front Street in Fishtown. The event boasts tons of happenings for attendees on top of the beer release including Pride anthems spun by their house DJ. The event will feature a line-up of Philly’s best LGBTQIA+ creators offering artwork, vintage goods, and other handmade items. Of course, Evil Genius will be offering fresh pints from their outdoor beer tent and a food truck will be in attendance to satisfy your hunger. The event is no charge as well as family and pet friendly so be sure to bring the whole crew out for the day.
After the block party Evil Genius will be hosting a 21+ Pride Rave inside their taproom. The Rave will take place from 9 to midnight. Their taproom will be decked out in Pride Decor, black lights, and more to fit the vibe.

Action Wellness is honored that The Philadelphia AIDS Fund has chosen us to uphold the legacy of GayBINGO! We are dedicated to ensuring its ongoing success and utilizing the proceeds to support individuals living with HIV. GayBINGO! is the fabulous, irreverent, campy, wildly popular monthly event that has been entertaining Philadelphia audiences for over 20 years! Celebrating a different theme each month, hundreds of people pack the hall for a night of good old-fashioned Bingo… with a decidedly different twist! GayBINGO! is hosted by the infamous Bingo Verifying Divas (BVDs!) – a wild bunch of drag queens who entertain the crowd with their wacky humor and always outrageous costumes. GayBINGO! promises to be an evening of unbridled fun, complete with ridiculous musical numbers, hilarious drag queen antics, chances to win fabulous prizes, and much, much more! Tickets to purchase will be available through the AIDS Fund website through June 2025.

A creative workshop for trans/nonbinary adults to play and sing together
Mon. June 9, 7-9 pm, no charge/complimentary admission. Explore your voice and practice taking up space in this affirming, trans-only workshop. To experience play, to be silly, joyful, relaxed, and expressive is an act of resistance in a time when we are being silenced. We will not be silenced! We will take up physical and sonic space. We will speak up with joy, embody confidence, and celebrate ourselves and each other, even as the world tells us we don’t exist. We will embrace mistakes, and the complex, messy, multi-dimensional experience of existing as a human being. Your whole self is welcome here! Beginners welcome. 18+.
