We’re looking forward to seeing you! Please purchase tickets in advance to avoid show cancellations. Ticket links, and ASL PERFORMANCE TIMES in descriptions. (Airigami is sponsoring ASL interpretation, please help us share the word about these accessible performances!)
(PAST- Thanks for your support!) Airigami Experience: Build with Balloons
Airigami projects are a great way to participate in the creation of public art.
Are you a crafty person who enjoys HANDS ON building? Don’t miss the opportunity to work side by side (6’ apart) with Rochester’s own world-renowned Airigami to create a one-of-a-kind immersive balloon installation. You’ll literally set the stage for live performances by constructing set pieces and other decorative elements to transform areas at MADE ON STATE into an inflated wonderland.
ALLERGY ALERT: latex balloons will be used in the creation of the display.
See what it's like to build with Airigami by watching the videos of some of Airigami's Signature Sculptures coming together.
THANKS FOR JOINING US! THE SCULPTURE IS COMPLETED, COME SEE IT THROUGH SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 19!
Airigami Viewing and Photo Op
Visit Airigami’s sculpture during Fringe and capture memories with friends.
Fringe is all about fun flair, and so is Airigami! Check out the unique balloon display created for the Airigami stage. Sure to provide for selfie-friendly and fantastically fringy photos!

Stories for Little Ones
Reading books, telling stories, and more, set among the balloon stage by Airigami.
Sit for a spell and we’ll tell you a tale, perhaps about piggies- or maybe a whale? Could be you’ll hear of a far-away place, or a dashing inventor traveling through space. Stories will take you from here off to where. They’ll make you feel silly, or stand up your hair! Our “Stories for Little Ones” will truly engage. Come see the whole series on the Airigami Stage*
Nearly forgot! We should also say, ALLERGY ALERT: latex balloons on display.

Bed Time Stories
Reading books, telling stories, and more, but different from the books and stories the little ones are experiencing.
When’s the last time someone tucked you in and read you a story? Join us for an evening of stories your mother never would have read (at least not read to you, what she does on her own time is none of your business thank you very much.) Some spooky, some steamy, all performed with voices that are dreamy.
Every performance will be different. Performers appearing some shows include our very own Kelly Cheatle. (More will be added here soon.)

Not the Queen You Know
Maya Ben-Meir and Dan Pardo covering Queen.
Take an intimate journey into the hidden gems of legendary rock band, Queen. Classically trained singer (and accomplished kazoo player!) Maya Ben-Meir, together with pianist Dan Pardo, interprets some of the group’s lesser-known works, which parallel Maya’s own struggle to recognize her power. Through her unique and beautiful renditions of Queen’s deep cuts, Maya connects to Freddie Mercury’s vulnerability, passion, and courage in order to face her fears, trust in her strength, and take center stage.
