The Kitchen Theatre Company’s KITCHEN COUNTER CULTURE series, featuring cutting-edge, outside-the-box work by guest artists from around the country, continues in May with another not-to-be missed event.  Slam poet and stand-up comic Regie Cabico will perform at the Kitchen Theatre for three performances only—May 15, 16 and 17.  UNBUCKLED, UNCENSORED traces Cabico’s orbit from Catholic family roots and dreams of Broadway musicals to spoken word slams.  His Filipino background and queer identity are explored in this wildly funny, outrageous piece.

Regie Cabico won the 1993 Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam and took top prizes in the 1993, 1994, and 1997 National Poetry Slams. He has received three New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships for Poetry and Performance Art and received the Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award presented by Poets & Writers. Cabico co-edited Poetry Nation: A North American Anthology of Fusion Poetry (Vehicule Press, 1998) and his work appears in over thirty anthologies, including Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, and Spoken Word Revolution.  He has appeared on two seasons of HBO's Def Poetry Jam and his plays have been produced at the Humana Theater Festival, Joe's Pub, The Public Theater, Dixon Place, Theater Offensive, and the Kennedy Center Play Lab. He is former artist-in-residence for NYU's Asian/Pacific/American Institute and presently works as the Artistic Director of Sol & Soul in Washington, DC.
