Horse Trade Hosts Naked Girls Reading NYC's WESTERNS!
Go west, Naked Girls! Ride the open range with New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY) as Naked Girls Reading NYC presents WESTERNS! The Naked Girls will share tales both classic and contemporary of roping, riding, cow rustling and lonely nights under the wide-open starry skies - proving that a cowgirl's two best friends are her horse and her library card.
Host Nasty Canasta is joined by B.B. Heart, Gal Friday and Stormy Leather, as they share their favorite tales of how the West was won - plus, Naked Girls Reading NYC welcomes a very special guest: real-life cowboy and world-record holder Chris McDaniel will demonstrate the trick roping and bullwhipping skills that have won him championships around the world. Saddle up with your favorite readers-in-the-raw, at Naked Girls Reading WESTERNS!
Naked Girls Reading NYC is the perfect intimate live event: a monthly nude literary salon featuring in-the-buff readings by local burlesque luminaries, professional librarians, authors and other Naked Girls. Past themes have included Banned Books, Science Fiction and Tween Lit, as well as their annual holiday presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Guests to the salon are invited to sip a drink and listen with their eyes wide open as full-frontal literature meets fine art in the intimate theatrical setting of Under St. Marks.
Naked Girls Reading NYC is on the third Wednesday of every month at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Ave and Ave A) at 9pm.
Tickets ($20; 2 for $35) may be purchased online at www.NakedGirlsReadingNYC.com or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444. Seating is limited to 45; advance tickets are strongly recommended.
NAKED GIRLS READING began in Chicago in March 2009 as the creation of international showgirl Michelle L’Amour and Franky Vivid. The idea had rolled around in their heads for a few years in different formats, but with the opening of Studio L’Amour in 2008 it materialized as the perfect intimate live event. Naked Girls Reading now has branches across the country and around the world; the New York chapter, produced by Nasty Canasta, was opened in October 2009.
HORSE TRADE THEATER GROUP is a self-sustaining theater development group; with a focus on new work, it has produced a massive quantity of stimulating downtown theater.
