Hip Hop, Poetry, Acrobatics, Music and Film at NIGHTS ON THE FRINGE

Charm City Fringe will present its third annual Nights on the Fringe with two shows of vaudeville-inspired acts July 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m.at the Baltimore Theatre Project. Both nights will be hosted by WYPR's Aaron Henkin and Gin & Jokes' Umar Khan. Friday's show features a performance by 2015 Baltimore Youth Poet Laureate Derick Ebert, hip hop by Bmore Than Dance, acrobatics by Club Sandwich and more. Aerial performers In the Dark Circus and Charm City Fringe award-winners "A Fool's Paradise" and Interrobang Theatre Company are part of the seven-act lineup Saturday.

Based on the idea of presenting a modern vaudeville experience, both nights will feature buskers, special guest appearances and a house band, the Slanted Sound.
