The Wire Mothers Premiere MEL BUTTERMENCH: A MEMORIAL CONCERT at the Treehouse Tonight

MEL BUTTERMENCH: A MEMORIAL CONCERT: Artist, Genius, Legend: all are definitely words and could potentially be used to describe the late off off off Broadway composer Mel Buttermench. Join his muse, Diane Nowandlater (Madonna Marie Refugia), and widow, Carol Buttermench (Briana Kelly), for an evening of song in commemoration of the life, struggle and work of a man who assuredly will be posthumously famous.

The Wire Mothers is a musical sketch comedy duo featuring Briana Kelly and Madonna Marie Refugia. Birthed from the loins of Philly's all-female sketch comedy group ManiPedi, The Wire Mothers will make you ugly-laugh and pretty-cry with their renditions of music from the lesser-known, gritty underground world of off-off-off Broadway.

She studied at Comedy Sportz and Philly Improv Theater with The State's Kevin Allison, Saturday Night Live's Christine Nangle, and The Kids in the Hall's Kevin McDonald.
