News: Hotsy Totsy Burlesque to Deliver the Spice with a Tribute to "Dune" on March 14th

The Houses of the Landsraad have folded space to gather to celebrate the handover of Arakkis to the House Atreides. Cherry Pitz has no idea what that means, but for her and the girls at the Home for Wayward Girls and Fallen Women, a paying gig is a paying gig. Even one with knives fit for political backstabbing.

On Thursday, March 14th, Hotsy Totsy finally tackles a burlesque tribuite to Dune, the sci-fi epic created by award-winning author Frank Herbert, whose books are the world's best-selling science fiction novels of all time. The 1984 film version, directed by David Lynch, is notoriously camp, and the more recent films, directed and co-written by Denis Villeneuve, are decidedly less camp and more entertaining! All things Dune are certainly deserving of the loving send-up that Hotsy Totsy is planning!

The event will be hosted by Handsome Brad and Cherry Pitz, with acts by Miranda Raven, GoGo Gadget, The Sweet Siren, Rocco Chanel, Luna Lee, gogo by Le Grand Chaton, and Betty Brash acting as Stage Kitten. 

17 years ago, the first Hotsy Totsy Burlesque was staged in New York, and it’s been a fabulous ride! As Hotsy Totsy moves into its 15th year of tributing its favorite movies and TV shows with rhinestones, glitter, and flying underpants, every month you are invited to The Home for Wayward Girls and Fallen Women. The residents of the home need money to keep their hotel open and to buy G-strings and glitter. Sadly, the shows have had their technical difficulties, and in the past, they have had to combat Daleks, Darth Vader, The Borg, zombies, The Ghost of Vincent Price, network censors, evil from other dimensions, and Covid-19. 

The Hotsy Totsy Burlesque Tribute to Dune will take place at The Slipper Room (167 Orchard Street, NYC) on March 14, 2024. Admission is $25 pre-sold reserved seating. For tickets go to: www.slipperroom.com or bit.ly/HotsyDune. Doors open at 7:00, and the show starts at 8:00. The The Slipper Room is 21+.

So, join Hotsy Totsy Burlesque at The Home for Wayward Girls and Fallen Women, where the motto is "We've fallen, we can't get up, and we like it that way!

American Blues: 5 Short Plays by Tennessee Williams Written by Tennessee Williams Directed by Jim Niesen Presented by the Irondale Ensemble Project at The Space at Irondale 85 South Oxford St., Brooklyn, NYC October 27-November 26, 2023 Shadenia Savid in Moony's Kids Don't Cry . Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install

Review: "How To Eat an Orange" Cuts into the Life of an Argentine Artist and Activist

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,
