Two award winning writers and performers who bring to social commentary a passion for comic insight and a well-turned phrase. Edgy harmonies, incendiary lyrics, powerful instrumentation and theatrical hijinks!
Rick Burkhardt is an Obie-award-winning playwright, composer, director, songwriter, and accordionist for The Prince Myshkins. His plays have been produced by New York Theater Workshop, LaMama, and the American Repertory Theater. He is joined by vocalist/harmonist extraordinaire Jermaine Golden.

Charlie King is a songwriter, musical storyteller and political satirist. He has been at the heart of American folk music for more than half a century. His songs have been recorded and sung by Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Peggy Seeger, and Chad Mitchell.

LGBT Asylum is a welcoming community in Worcester, MA to support the basic human needs of LGBTQI people seeking asylum in the United States, to provide: housing, food, clothing, resources, cellphones, and transportation. Our goal is to educate the public to change policy around the globe so that no LGBTQI person will need to seek asylum because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
