Nicole Travolta, Howie Day and More to Perform At The Spire Center For Performing Arts

The Spire Center for Performing Arts has revealed three new shows. For one-night-only, actress and comedian Nicole Travolta takes center stage for her off-Broadway show “Nicole Travolta Is Doing Alright" on August 3. Award-winning singer-songwriter Howie Day plays on August 24 and comedians Steve Bjork & Mark Scalia perform on September 19. Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 21 at 6:00 a.m.

Nicole Travolta will perform her uproarious and unfiltered solo show about how she got herself out of debt through the surprisingly strange world of Hollywood spray tanning. With razor-sharp impressions (Jennifer Coolidge, Carrie Bradshaw, Drew Barrymore, and more), Nicole peels back the layers of identity, celebrity, and shame as she attempts to outrun her famous last name—and her credit score—one client at a time. This is the only chance to see the show before it hits the New York stage in an expanded Off-Broadway run at the Soho Playhouse in December. Come laugh, cringe, and relate—Doing Alright is doing way more than alright.

Howie Day's emotionally resonant lyrics and inventive melodies have earned him both critical praise and a legion of devoted fans. He is known for his energetic, heartfelt shows, where he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. He wrote, financed, and released his first effort, Australia, which was named Best Debut Album at the 2001 Boston Music Awards. Day began experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling techniques as he performed, layering live percussion with vocal harmonies and guitar parts to become a veritable one-man band. After signing with Epic Records, Day released his major-label debut, Stop All The World Now, and hit the road to support it. Since the release of this groundbreaking album 20 years ago, featuring 4x platinum single "Collide", Day continues to astound audiences with his everlasting music.
