JACKIE BEAT IS COMIN’ TO TOWN
4 Shows Only! Dec 17-19 at Fez
Somewhere between Scrooge, the Grinch and a post-holiday hangover is JACKIE BEAT, everyone's favorite bawdy, bold and ballsy, in-your-face funny "lady". It all started so innocently in 1998 with Jesus Christ, It’s Your Birthday!, a delightful non-denominational holiday tribute featuring such seasonal fare as "Jew Christmas," "Black Christmas," and "Go To Hell," Beat’s jaded take on "Silver Bells". When the show was prominently featured in The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Right’s 1998 Report on Anti-Catholicism, an annual holiday tradition was born.

The Roaring Girle
Feb. 20 - March 21 at Baruch Performing Arts Center
The most infamous woman you've never heard of is at the center THE ROARING GIRLE: Moll Cutpurse, a woman ahead of her time, and ours. Born in 1579 at Barbican Aldersgate Street and died of dropsy in 1650 at Fleet Street, Moll became 17th century London's most notorious cross-dresser and "governess of the underworld". Playwright Alice Tuan has brought Moll into the 21st century, freely adapting the original text into a quick-witted satire that takes place in a world where the days of the week have corporate sponsors, free speech costs a fortune, beauty is mandatory and theatre has been declared illegal. The plot includes plenty of Jacobean twists and turns--star crossed lovers, gallants out of cash, and hapless comic servants. Against this backdrop, Moll will stage an insurgent performance of her forbidden "Show of Shows" rallying her fellow citizens into a roar against the authoritarian attitudes of the day.
