THE MEETING, Hosted by Justin Sayre, Returns to the Duplex 2/8

The Meeting* is a monthly comedy/variety show for homosexuals and their friends. A "gay" romp through politics, sexual and otherwise, social news, music, skits, and other important life-changing information. Produced by Adam J. Rosen & Rudy Scala, The Meeting* returns to The Duplex Cabaret Theatre on February 8th at 9:30 pm with host Justin Sayre. Past "agenda items" have included the romantic saga of gay penguins at the Central Park Zoo, a nativity play celebrating the birth of Quentin Crisp, a guide to the so-called "gay panic" defense, and musical numbers with cabaret star Molly Pope. The February show will pay tribute to the life of Warhol Superstar Jackie Curtis. 

The Meeting* operates under the myth of the "gay agenda" and is structured as any organizational meeting for homosexuals would be, where business of the day, upcoming events and social issues are discussed, ridiculed and interwoven between comedy sketches, musical numbers, and other "homo-hijinks." Host Justin Sayre says, "I wanted a show where we could have a good laugh at ourselves, while getting some information out there. The Internet is great and easy to create a virtual community, but I think so much more is done one on one and with laughter." Audience response has been ecstatic.

From an early age, Justin Sayre demonstrated a supernatural instinct for "camp," an ability that shines throughout The Meeting*. Justin is a child of Forty Fort, PA, who moved to New York believing it was still 1947. He was terribly misinformed. In 2006, Justin received rave reviews for his cabaret, "Without A Song." As an actor, he has studied with the finest teachers in New York. As a gay, Justin has excelled at scarf placement, Judy hands, and a healthy but firm love of the American musical. 

The Meeting* occurs at The Duplex Cabaret Theatre, located at 61 Christopher Street at 7th Ave, New York, NY 10014, 2/8/10 at 9:30 pm. There is a $10 cover charge and a two-drink minimum ($5 for MAC members and Meeting* Membership Card holders). You must be 21+ years of age to attend.
