Why do we fight? Do we have to? And how do we mend what is broken after the fight is over? If you've ever wanted to have an honest conversation with your families about the impulse we all have to fight, then this is 'The Rainbow Beard Show' for you.

Join Ricky Rainbow Beard and their puppet friends along with special guests like: Mr. Compost Man! David Morales! Ben Levin! Zoë the Mender! You! Together, we'll explore this scary topic with humor, sincerity, and a call to action during these difficult times.

Support for THE RICKY RAINBOW BEARD SHOW is provided in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and private funders, and with support from the City of Providence Department of Arts, Culture, + Tourism, the Wilbury Theatre Group, our Patreon subscribers, and theater-goers like you!
