The Tank
Wednesday, February 28th 2024
Renowned friend (and collaborator) Tess told me to go see this show, and that's enough of a reason for me to see anything.
But also....
It features a mime bringing a loved one back to life. That's charged, and I'm here for it. This is a group of collaborators who are new to me, and I can't wait to be counted among their audience.

DeliaDelia! The Flat Chested Witch!
Brick Aux
March 1st - March 2nd 2024
I don't know much about this show but a friend texted me a few weeks ago saying I must go see the wild and hilarious clown Amando. The show was sold out. Then they added a show, and without missing a beat or seeing if anyone could come with me, I bought a ticket. THEN I learned the singular genius Kedian Keohan had directed it. SO I was vindicated by my instinctual, quick purchase. It is sure to be fun, funny, beautiful maybe, brilliant possibly. I'll be there Thursday alone (except for, I learned, Kiki).

3 Dollar Bill
Thursday,. March 7th 2024
Have you ever been to the Underworld? If you have, you know that the first thing that happens when you leave is that you want to go back. If you have not, cooooooome riiiiiight thiiiis waaaay. This is the first one of the year and it is going to be epic. Get there early if you want a seat, otherwise make sure to wear good shoes. It will have far too much going on for one night, but you will never be bored, I can promise you that.
