The namesake of one of the greatest comedians of all time will make his NYC Theatrical Debut… in a show called BEST LITTLE CRACKHOUSE IN PHILLY (photo below is from the show). As the description says “Pretty Woman meets Best Little Whorehouse — and gives new meaning to hoedown!”. Hey, everyone’s got to start somewhere. We love it when celebrities, and even celebrity offspring, do off-off theater. Makes us proud.
Lots more events happening at Downeast Arts Center including something called “THE INTERNATIONAL CRINGE FESTIVAL” (love that name!); see below for the full press release or visit NYArtists.org.

Come see these sidesplitting shows:

“LOVE.COM”

Large Marge meets Leonard the Nerd in cyberspace. Inspired by A Confederacy of Dunces, they run off to meet in New Orleans… but as Paris in lingerie and Fabio in leather.

“THE SOUND OF WIZARDS”

G Dubya meets Osama Vin Labia where the red brick meets the yellow brick road. They run into Nan the Nun (with a cartload of kids in lederhosen) and Dotty, a drugged-out, over-the-hill hippie looking for Woodstock. Meanwhile, Barbara Bush has been turned into… oh well, we’ll save that for a surprise!

And, winner of this year’s Golden Pineapple…
“BEST LITTLE CRACKHOUSE IN PHILLY”
(Or, Crackwhore… the Musical!)

Just as it sounds: Pretty Woman meets Best Little Whorehouse — and gives new meaning to hoedown!
