Behave • by Mx. Asa Metric Asa Metric is a lounge singer in a cabaret that regularly eats itself… you’re welcome to lounge with her, but behave yourself. Mx. Asa Metric is a dumpster in search of a diver. A cabaret goblin honking her way through the underside of the American songbook. Mileage may Mary. She’s the alter egret of Evan Spigelman (they/them/the “gay ‘she’”), a theatermaker whose time is spent as an actor, cabaret artist, designer and light-bender.
