THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF RAYA (ULR) is an hour long musical following the fictitious career of Raya Light: At a very young age, Raya Light was destined to be the greatest star that ever was. Well at least in her mind! SEE Raya as a precocious 10 year old girl at her very first audition, foaming at the mouth for her first morsel of fame! MARVEL at her meteoric rise from Tween Queen to Oscar winner! FASTEN your seatbelts for a wild ride of coke lines, sex tapes, collagen lips and worst dressed listsHooray for Hollywood indeed! Leave your panties at home!
ULR won the BEST MUSICAL REVUE at the San Francisco Fringe festival in 2009, but of course we have been treated to plenty of show business craziness in the time since (Hello Charlie Sheen!) so the show has been remastered and remixed for the 2011 tabloid frenzy!
HALLOWEEN! THE BALLAD OF MICHELE MYERS is musical parody of Americas obsession with slasher films: Mrs. Skerritt chaperons 4 school girls up to the lake for a fun-filled Halloween dance over at the boys camp. But someone also invited crazed tranny killer Michele Myers to crash the party! Watch her slash through her victims to a disco beat! Dos-i-do and try to evade her bloody gaze! Rock out with your cock out and it just might get snipped! Shriek in horror at her unmasking! Freddy, Jason, and Michael scared your breathlessnow its HER TURN!
For the Summer Special, we will be doing a staged singing of HALLOWEEN! with a full production coming in October at CounterPULSE! This staged version will be narrated by:
Joshua Grannell, a.k.a. Peaches Christ.
Both shows star a who's who of local drag and theater stars:
Raya Light
Steven Satyricon
Trixxie Carr
Audra Wolfmann
Honey Mahogany
Virginia Suicide
Joshua R. Devore
Samuel Palmer.
