Dane Figueroa Edidi, better known to the late-night crowd as Lady Dane will bring "The Boy Who Played Doll" to The Black Fox Lounge on Tuesday, June 19th at 8:00pm.

Lady Dane will "draw on jazz, R&B, show tunes, opera and the dance divas to channel his infamous drag Uncle Jimmy, better known to the Baltimore after-hours crowd as 'Figueroa!' Part cabaret, part storytelling, part talk show, Lady Dane will stir up some truth about his family, the mating habits of gay men, those opera divas and the bonds that hold a b*tch together."

Dane Figueroa Edidi (Writer/Performer) dubbed Lady Dane is an African, Cuban and Native American performance artist from Baltimore, MD. He grew up in the jazz and gospel music communities and studied formally at the Baltimore School for the Arts and at Catholic University in Washington, DC. An actor, singer, dancer and writer, he performed his first cabaret at the age of 17. He's performed at such venues as The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Round House Theatre, Theatre for a New City and Don't Tell Mama's in New York City. He is an ensemble member of force/collision where he was last seen as The Goddess in "The Nautical Yards". A skilled dance instructor, he has taught Afro-Cuban and belly-dancing at Mamasita and for The Department of Transportation.
