PROJECT 2011. Kevin Malony directs.

Recipe for WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY Jane StarrING Penny Arcade AND Brenda Bergman: Take one crazy old ex child vaudeville hoofer, add crippled has-been starlet sister, one busy body neighbor and a dash of dead maid. Drizzle in one homosexual vocal coach. Toss lightly. Fold in Penny Arcade, Brenda Bergman, Sweetie, Steven Hayes, Brini Maxwell, Rosa Curry, and Wesleigh Urish. Mix well. Spread out evenly on Theater 80 St. Marks' stage. Bake for 90 minutes, pausing occasionally for laughter. Delicious!

The TWEED Fractured Classicks Series, produced by TWEED TheaterWorks, presents staged readings of classic American plays and films. The series has presented some of downtown's most astonishing performers, as well as some bona fide celebrities, in great works by great
playwrights and filmmakers. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY Jane StarrING Penny Arcade AND Brenda Bergman is written by Grady Hendrix.

HOWL! ARTS PROJECT, a month-long series of non-stop music, film, theater, performance art, burlesque and drag entertainment, was conceived as a vehicle to benefit HELP (Howl! Emergency Life Project), the newly established emergency assistance fund supporting East Village artists of all disciplines, which also provides all services offered by parent administrator: The Actors Fund. H.A.P. puts the "hap" in "happening" with an electrifying series of ticketed events taking place downtown October 1-31. In an ongoing effort to support HELP, H.A.P. presents wildly diverse programming at affordable costs to the whole family. Artists of all disciplines impart talent and
pleasure galore as they showcase developing and finished work in traditional and experimental theatrical productions, gallery offerings and more.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY Jane StarrING Penny Arcade AND BRENDA BERGMAN runs Saturday, October 8 and Sunday, October 9 at 8:00 pm at Theatre 80 (80 St. Marks Place). Tickets are $20, and available at www.brownpapertickets.com.
