That’s right! It all started 30 years ago (August 9th, 1985, if you want to get technical) in a rented third floor space at the Providence Performing Arts Center. So, to celebrate, we’ll be taking over another venerable downtown Providence entertainment institution, Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, for 4 hours of music, comedy, performance, food, drink, and who-knows-what-other AS220 inspired mayhem, with your hosts and entertainers…The Empire Revue and John Waters! Join us as we celebrate, cabaret-style, 30 years of AS220 and creative community in downtown Providence.Tickets for this one-of-a-kind experience are just $75! Feeling extravagant? Get up close and personal with the so-called “Pope of Trash”, at our post-event reception with Mr. Waters himself, down the street at AS220’s (soon-to-be) new Main Stage, or, “where the Satin Doll used to be”, for all of you Rhode Islanders out there.
