The Barbarians are the radical queer burlesque troupe; they strip, they tease and don't get too close they might even bite! The Village Voice thinks "they might just help us save our sanity" but the gossip is they are more likely to make you lose yours. JZBich (Jasmina Sinanovic), Dirty South (Danni Willis) and Mistress Brad (Heather Rudzenski) are divas that comprise the Barbarians on stage and Anti Social (Ileana Tammy Marin) is the tech power behind the troupe.

Anti-Social is part lesbian and part video camera. No one knows much about Anti-Social because she's so damned...Anti-Social?

Dirty South from out of the cold dust into the big city she comes, you can't miss her and if you cross her, you will regret

JZBich is an International sensation that erupted from the malting Balkans and ended up on the shores of NYC. With her real accent she brings hope to immigrants who want to twirl their pasties in the land of free. Her favorite colors are red, white and blue; red for the blood she has shed in her lifetime, white for all the white nights she had and blue for all the bruises on her legs. JZBich is also known as Jasmina Sinanovic. Tonight JZBich will do a brand new piece, fresh under the press of her pressured barbaric mind, it may provoke you, it may make you sick but it will not leave you alone, because you are not alone, never … For you

Mistress Brad there once was a princess who felt like a prince off the shores of va to the island of NY, she's danced, she's played bringing her flare, fun and charisma to the stage of burlesque, she will play on your intimate desires, allowing your mind to dance in heat.

WOW Café Theater is a women's theater collective in NYC's East Village, which promotes the empowerment of women through the performing arts.

Historically, WOW has been a majority lesbian woman's space. WOW welcomes the full participation of all women and transpeople in solidarity with women. WOW especially welcomes women and transpeople of color, and women and trans people who identify as lesbians, bisexual and queer. We provide a working theater space to our members & the technical support to create and produce works, regardless of economic status.

We acknowledge the links between different kinds of oppressions and strive to be open to all sexualities and spiritualities, to be multilingual and intergenerational, and to challenge all oppressions including racism, classism, ableism, sexism, ageism, and sizeism. Our weekly Tuesday meeting and collective governance structure provide a space for artists to share their ideas, facilitate the exchange of labor and knowledge, and realize their creative visions.
