Southern Rep and Running with Scissors Present SNOW GIRLS, Previews 12/3

Southern Rep has teamed up with New Orleans' favorites to bring audiences the world premiere of a brand new Running with Scissors play SNOW GIRLS. In this parody of the film "ShowGirls" the Running with Scissors cast will take us on a journey through the North Pole, laughing all the way. SNOW GIRLS follows one brave, ambitious woman on her quest for fame, fortune, and an igloo to call her own.

If movies were meat products, SHOWGIRLS would be a turducken: one part VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, one part ALL ABOUT EVE, and one part turkey. For our parody called SNOW GIRLS, we've added a side of ICE CASTLES and a generous helping of ham. Dig in.
- Richard Read, Running with Scissors Company Member

SNOW GIRLS stars Bob Edes JR., Kyle Daigrepont, Armando Leduc, Jack Long, Lisa Picone, Dorian Rush, with Brian Peterson as Nomey. Running with Scissors recently entertained New Orleans with their productions of GOLDEN GIRLS and THE REAL DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES OF STEPFORD COUNTY.

The holidays are a time for gratitude and peace. SNOW GIRLS makes us grateful for bad movies that need to be parodied, holiday traditions that could use a tweak, and men in drag with something to say about modern love and ambition. Maybe with show Running with Scissors' SNOW GIRLS will bring peace in our times. Get thee to Southern Rep--it's ho-ho-ho-Hot!
- Aimée Hayes, Artistic Director
