David Kushner has released a new single and video “Sweet Oblivion.” The video, directed by Erik Rojas (Dillon Francis, TROYBOI), is a compilation of stunningly rendered disaster scenes. Meteor strikes, wildfires, and tempests crumble the manmade and natural worlds alike. As people and animals flee, Kushner stands among the chaos serenading the freeing nothingness of oblivion with his signature baritone. It is an insightful reminder that everything in the world will disappear eventually. Both deeply personal and profoundly universal, “Sweet Oblivion” is a taste of the meditations on human struggles to come on The Dichotomy. David Kushner’s debut album The Dichotomy arrives August 30 via Miserable Music Group.

“You in the black shirt – get up here and die.”. This opening direction perfectly set the stage for Who Did It?, Erik Acuña’s improvised murder mystery comedy performance that’s become an annual favorite (it won “Best of Fringe” last year). The premise is simple: the stage is set with a body and “evidence” collected from the audience; based on the evidence, the cast – comprised of a rotating collection of performers and teachers from Washington Improve Theater and Rails Comedy – investigates the murder and interviews suspects connected to each piece of evidence, before the detectives determine who is responsible and make their arrest.
