Andrea Alton stars as Molly "Equality" Dykeman in I CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT: MOLLY "EQUALITY" DYKEMAN'S BIG GAY PRIDE SHOW, premiering in June at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Molly “Equality” Dykeman is a barely lucid poet/security guard at Brooklyn's P.S. 339 and a lovable train wreck who launched her career to critical acclaim in the 2011 New York International Fringe Festival. Performances run June 21-23 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased online at www.SpinCycleNYC.com, or by calling 212-352-3101. The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located inside the West Bank Café at 407 West 42nd Street. (at 9th Avenue.) A full dinner menu and full bar are available. There is a $15 food/beverage minimum at this performance.
I CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT: MOLLY "EQUALITY" DYKEMAN'S BIG GAY PRIDE SHOW is poet/security guard Dykeman's first Gay Pride themed variety show -- even if every day is Gay Pride in the Percocet-fogged haze that is Molly's mind! The show includes Molly's home movies; new poetry about vaginas, nachos, and mullets; a guide to making amends to past loves, and Molly's tribute to the many, many ladies she loves -- or at least with whom she would like to make love.
