On September 9th, as a part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival- Watermelon Bathtub debuted "Red Flags."
This piece explored the dynamics of power in relationships. People told their experiences of a time when they were in a toxic situation and then perform their ultimate circus revenge act. The show was a combination of drama and comedy, with audience participation encouraged.
Our shows include themes of access to make the experience welcome to a wider audience.
