REGIE CABICO in UNBUCKLED, UNCENSORED

Tracing his orbit from his Catholic family roots and dreams of Broadway musicals to the spoken word slam scene and back again, performance poet and comedian Regie Cabico unleashes a night of raw talent that tells a tale of running away and returning in the context of the continually revolving world that we live in. Be prepared for a one-man cabaret infused with pop-culture, humor, and Regie's ever-enduring perspective as a queer Filipino artist.

Regie Cabico is a poet, playwright, director and spoken word performer with a BFA in Acting from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. His work appears in over 30 anthologies and on television including HBO's Def Poetry Jam, MTV's Free Your Mind Video and PBS' In The Life. Regie is currently a teaching mentor for Urban Word and develops a poetry and performance program for teens with psychiatric illness at Bellevue Hospital, where he received the 2006 Writers for Writers Award from Poets & Writers. He is also the Artistic Director of the Washington D.C.-based theater Sol y Soul and an ensemble castmember of the New York Neo-Futurists and their show Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.

Unbuckled, Uncensored is a National Performance Network Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by the Asian Arts Initiative in partnership with YouthSpeaks and the National Performance Network. Regie Cabico's residency in Philadelphia was also made possible in part with grants from the Artists & Communities program of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation; and the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative, a program of the Philadelphia Center for Arts and Heritage, funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts and administered by The University of the Arts.
