The Summer Hummer, DC theatre's most revealing variety show, plays a benefit performance at Signature Theatre for Taking Care of Our Own, which helps Washington theatre professionals with emergency needs, tonight, August 20 at 7 p.m.
Like nothing else you've seen on Washington stages, this one-night only burlesque variety show features a cast of some of Washington's favorite performers raising the roof with the risky and risqué.
