Pinky Swear Productions Sets New Season of Murder & Mayhem
Pinky Swear Productions has announced a thrilling season of murder, mayhem, and melancholy, with source material that spans 600 years, and performing in Washington, DC, and New York. All of our shows this season examine what it means to survive-whether it's surviving a crime, a family tragedy, or the ruinous effects of public infamy.
This July, we're back at the Capital Fringe Festival with the Bluegrass murder ballad cabaret, Over Her Dead Body. Join the cast and crew of a traveling Bluegrass variety show as they record a special night of traditional murder ballads for the radio. Things quickly start to go awry as uninvited guests-the murdered women featured in the songs-begin to reveal the other side of these sadistic stories. Simultaneously rowdy and reverential, no one makes it out of this show without a little blood on their hands.
In August, we're taking the critically acclaimed show from our 2013 season, Bleed by Renee Calarco, to the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival. A story about love, loss, and resilience, Bleed follows Marla and her husband, Dez, who escape her sister's wedding reception and end up on an abandoned playground. There, they continue the delicate games they've been playing for 19 years in an effort to deal with the grief at the heart of their marriage.
Finally, in January, we'll be bringing the epic rock opera, Lizzie, to DC audiences. Award-winning musical theatre actor and director Rick Hammerly will direct this epic, hard-driving, rock opera about Lizzie Borden, whose parents' murder became one of the most infamous crimes in American history.
As always, the company is dedicated to carving out new spaces for women's stories on the stage, and to creating more opportunities for female artists in every aspect of the creative process.
