HyperGender Burlesque Presents: Little Red Riding Hood, a burlesque fairy tale
Don't miss the hilarious second installment in the queer fairy tale burlesque series brought to you by JZ Bich and hosted by WOW Cafe Theatre! Ms. Bich (who has produced the wildly popular HyperGender at WOW Cafe for the past 6 years) is thrilled to bring you a show that is as fiercely sexy as it is full of heart.
The play comments on the conflicts among three generations of lesbian and queer women, tackling issues of ageism and transphobia that often go unrecognized, unspoken, and unchallenged within the lesbian/queer community. Little Red's story will never be the same.
Starring: Mercedes Matilda (Little Red Riding Hood), Ana Drogyna (The Wolf), JZ Bich (Mother/Story Outline/Director, Eve Prouty (Grandma), Dizzy Swank (The Woodsman), Shemar (Narrator 1), Lydia Love (Narrator 2), The Luvley Rae (Flower), Laura Jean DuMond (Laura Jean, the Lesbian Separatist Forest Dweller), and Leta Lenoir (Forest Elf)!

The Capital Campaign
In 2000, WOW
launched its first large-scale fundraising effort, a capital campaign
to help us buy and renovate our theater. The City of New York has sold the tenants of 59-61 East 4th Street the
building for $1!
The caveat: That we raise the funds to
renovate the building, and bring it up to code. WOW’s share of renovation costs is about $125,000. As
we have survived solely on box-office sales for 25 years, this is more
money than we’ve ever had or needed in the past. |
When we do
succeed in securing these funds, WOW will own its own permanent theater
space in a completely renovated building.
One of the most
exciting aspects, which we have achieved, is the addition of a functional 24/7
self-service elevator! Yet to come is a sink for the bathroom, and dare we say air-conditioning?!
|
|
We have raised more than 3/4 of the total, but are not there yet! In order to make this possible, we urgently need your financial help! No
donation is too small or too large, and any amount will help us ensure
that theatre by women and/or by transgender people continues to thrive and be ever-increasingly accessible. |
