One part vivid imagination, two parts carnival and a shot of old world burlesque mixed with a Heavy Dash of decadence and you have ABSINTHE, a unique show that premiered Strip-side on Friday, April 1. This new production by internationally renowned Spiegelworld, Base Entertainment and Jess Ravich makes its vibrant debut at the Roman Plaza at Caesars Palace.

Theatre Out, Orange County's gay and lesbian theatre, presents the Orange County Premiere of SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES the dark comedy by Del Shores, creator of Sordid Lives. SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES, with performances running from August 13 through September 4, examines the conflicting experiences of four boys growing up in Texas as they struggle with what they know is right and what the church tells them is right.
Recent events in the American political arena have certainly illustrated that, even to this day, there is--and perhaps, always will be--a conflict between the strict doctrine of most factions of organized religion and the equal-rights-seeking gay community. This heated, often deeply painful struggle is even more pronounced for those caught in the middle of these two opposing worlds. This internal conflict it causes--to stay truthful to one's sexual identity, as well as abide by the long-ingrained teachings of their church's gospel--is the subject of Del Shores' stirring SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES, presented by Theatre Out, Orange County's sole gay and lesbian theatre company, at Santa Ana's Empire Theatre through September 2.
