THE FACTS OF LIFE: THE LOST EPISODE
Begins March 28 at The Kraine Theater
After sold-out runs at Ars Nova and Ace of Clubs last spring and Provincetown in 2005, the wildly popular THE FACTS OF LIFE: The Lost Episode will return for an open-ended engagement beginning Wednesday, March 28 at The Kraine Theater. Written by Jamie Morris, creator of the LA Weekly Theatre Award-winning comedy "Mommie Queerest," FACTS features an all-male cast as the girls from Eastland (including Edie, last seen on Broadway in Threepenny Opera opposite Cyndi Lauper and Alan Cumming). As the sitcom’s popular theme song proclaimed, "You take the good, you take the bad." These girls take it all.
The lost episode in question is titled "The Best Little Whorehouse in Peekskill." Budget cuts are threatening to force Mrs. Garrett to leave Eastland. Blair, Tootie, Natalie and Jo will do anything to raise enough money so she can stay. Anything.
Please note: THE FACTS OF LIFE: The Lost Episode does not incorporate actual episodes. This is a new unauthorized parody inspired by the beloved sitcom.
Directed by Christopher Kenney, the production features Brooks Braselman as Natalie, Christopher Kenney as Blair, Charlie Logan as Jo, Jamie Morris as Mrs. Garrett, and Jaquay Thomas as Tootie with set design by Michael Lee Scott, FACTS features parody lyrics by Brooks Braselman and Jamie Morris with musical arrangements by Hank Bones.
THE FACTS OF LIFE: The Lost Episode runs Wednesdays at 8pm beginning March 28. (No show May 16th). The Kraine Theater is located at 85 East 4th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Aves -- accessible from the F train at 2nd Ave). Tickets are $18, available at 212-352-3101 or TheaterMania.com.
