THE COMMERCIALLY UNVIABLE QUEER TRASH THEATRE CYCLE at Dixon Place July 28th

For one night only, Dixon Place will present the workshop premiere of THE COMMERCIALLY UNVIABLE QUEER TRASH THEATRE CYCLE: a raucous and irreverent night of plays by Kev Berry, on July 28th at 7:30 presented as part of the 25th Annual Hot! Festival of queer culture.

The playlets question what it means to be queer in America by introducing you to a barefoot Contessa, talking vegetables, worrisome prairie cats, and the very gaytriarchy that holds it all together. Perhaps it's a hot mess All in the Timing.

Charles Quittner directs a cast of 11 LGBTQ+ luminaries featuring Matthew Hardy (LABYRINTH @ Abrons, FOSSE), Dillon Heape (Three Day Hangover's TARTUFFE), Chris Ignacio (MISS SAIGON), Alexander Paris (I'M BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE @ La MaMa ETC ), Brian Reager, Yael Rizowy (HELD MOMENTARILY @ NYMF), Reb Robertson, Morgan Sullivan, Ry Szelong, Colin Waitt (KAPOW-I-GOGO, THE MYSTERIES), & Magen Ashley Young (VENICE DOUBLE FEATURE @ HERE). CUQT... features sounds by Ryan Thibeault and stage management by Anne Ciarlone (A DOLL'S HOUSE and THE FATHER @ TFANA).

Tickets are $12 for students, NYID carriers, and seniors, $15 in advance, and $18 at the door. Tickets are also available online at http://dixonplace.org/performances/the-commercially-unviable-queer-trash-theatre-cycle/. Dixon Place is located at 161A Chrystie Street (btwn Rivington & Delancey), New York, NY. The Dixon Place Lounge is open before and after the show with proceeds directly supporting Dixon Place's mission & artists.
