Shaping Sound's movement style features a unique fusion of jazz, modern, and hip-hop choreography. With a dynamic mix of energy, emotion, and athleticism, the ensemble brings tremendous musicality of movement to each performance. Tickets are available from $40-$60.

Laughter mixed with cheeky cabaret can make the perfect date night outing with sexy cabaret stylings of The Skivvies, a "musically thrilling" undie-rock, comedy-pop duo who literally strip down to their underwear to perform. Award-winning singer-actors Lauren Molina (Marry Me a Little, Rock of Ages,Sweeney Todd) and Nick Cearley (Pageant, All Shook Up) will bring their "stripped" down music to SEI Innovation Studio February 12-14 at 8 p.m. each night. Joining them are Broadway performer Adam Kantor (Rent, Next to Normal, Broadway on Broadway film, Off Broadway's The Last Five Years, Avenue Q, Falling for Eve), Doylestown, Pa. Broadway star Jenny Lee Stern (Rocky, Jersey Boys), and Leslie McDonel (American Idiot, Hairspray). Molina and Cearley became YouTube sensations in 2012, with videos showcasing both their powerful harmonies and their powerful abs. Those clips led to a music video directed by bestselling author Augusten Burroughs, sold-out shows in venues across New York, and rave reviews in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Recently featured inPeople magazine's Most Talked About Bodies of 2014 issue, The Skivvies deliver a hilarious evening of genre-hopping pop perfection.
