PHILLY FRINGE: Minivan

Minivan is the electropop spectacle of genre-defying producer, composer, and theater maker Ron Shalom. Traversing clowning and drag, Minivan careens through character transformations using custom lighting instruments, original music, camp couture, and instructional choreography. Runway, the fifth full-length Minivan album, fuses driving rock and expansive orchestral arrangements. For Philly Fringe, Minivan premieres Millennial Library, a new live show with an accompanying album forthcoming Fall 2025.
