A CAT IN A BOX To Play One Night Only At The Philadelphia Fringe Festival
Tom Nemec’s solo show will run September 20 at the Yellow Bicycle Theater.
Actor and comedian Tom Nemec will bring his one-person show A Cat in a Box to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival for one night only on September 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at the Yellow Bicycle Theater. The piece blends raw storytelling and dark humor in a personal exploration of trauma, resilience, and the human spirit’s capacity for healing.
An immersive and interactive experience, A Cat in a Box invites the audience into Nemec’s childhood home, haunted by his father’s alcoholism, anger, and absence of love. Through a series of monologues, Nemec explores the fear and loneliness of a fractured family while infusing the narrative with a darkly humorous tone. The performance becomes not just a story of survival but a call to compassion and a celebration of courage.
