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: Nancy Redman’s "A Séance with Mom" Conjures Mother-Daughter Hilarity and Love

A Séance with Mom Written by Nancy Redman Directed by Austin Pendleton Presented at Chain Studio Theatre 312 W. 36th St., Manhattan, NYC April 20-23, 2023 [Update 5/1/23: shows added May 24-June 4, 2023 (no performance May 29)] Nancy Redman Nancy Redman appears onstage, a simple table in front of her, a walker off to the side. Within seconds, we are immersed in a séance involving two then three then four characters—all emerging from only Redman. Redman plays Nadine, a woman who has something urgent to address with her dead mother, Gussy. Redman manages multi-faceted character work, each character in conversation with the other, complete with different gestures, accents, and mannerisms. The effect is riveting and, ultimately, deeply cathartic. The heart of the show comprises Nadine’s mission to reach her mother through a séance in order to talk. An unwitting rabbi plays the bumbling gatekeeper to the spirits in the séance, while Nadine’s something—actually several somethings—to tell her
