The Rockwell

If you're reading this, you have a pelvic floor; you'll leave this brisk comedy knowing why it matters.&nbsp;
When an uptight comedian seeks help for some diffuse midsection issues, she learns how little she knows about her body’s most basic functions – in spite of her OB/GYN father! Veltman shares it all in this raw and ridiculous extravaganza featuring unhinged characters, music, videos, and a medically unsanctioned chart.
“As fearless as it is funny” (<a href="https://fringereview.co.uk/review/edinburgh-fringe/2025/psa-pelvic-service-announcement/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FringeReview</a>). Winner, Best Musical Comedy, United Solo Off-Broadway. Official Selection Edinburgh Fringe, San Diego Int'l Fringe, Tucson Fringe, CoHo ClownFest (Portland, Oregon), SF Fringe, BingeFringe at Santa Monica Playhouse, NYC Fringe, and SoloFest at the Whitefire Theatre.Additional performances: 9:15 pm, Friday, May 15 and 7:05 pm, Sunday, May 17

Every treatment is fully customized. No cookie-cutter facials. No trend chasing. Just intelligent, personalized care based on what your skin actually needs. Kerry is an oncology-trained paramedical esthetician and melanoma survivor whose background in advanced skin science allows her to work confidently with all skin types, tones, and concerns — from acne, breakouts, and congestion to pigmentation, aging, texture changes, and overall skin resilience. Services include advanced corrective facials, microneedling with RF, nano needling, chemical peels, microcurrent lifting, LED light therapy, acne-focused treatments, pigmentation correction, and barrier-repair support. The spa also offers brow and lash services, facial waxing for delicate areas, and holistic support services such as Reiki and traditional herbal yoni steaming. Clients travel from Boston, Cambridge, the North Shore, and surrounding neighborhoods for Kerry’s education-first approach, precision treatments, and long-term skin strategy. This is a quiet, boutique setting designed for people who want real expertise and thoughtful care — not rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all spa menus. Appointments are by reservation only.
