The Ceremony
Ben Volchok • Semi-professional company
About Ben Volchok
The Ceremony is an improvised, interactive show by Ben Volchok, performed at the Former Womens Locker Room. Part sermon, part group therapy, part comedy show — and expressly not a cult — the piece is built fresh from audience responses each night, meaning no two performances are alike. Questions about identity, meaning, and collective purpose are posed, examined, and left productively unresolved. Welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. Let The Ceremony begin.
Why see this show?
Completely different every night and built from whoever is in the room — if you want a Fringe experience that genuinely cannot be replicated, this is a strong candidate. Warm, funny, and stranger than it sounds.
