A self-proclaimed "drinking club with a Shakespeare problem," the merry members of New York's Drunk Shakespeare Society invite you to The Lounge for a night of suds and sonnets, cocktails and couplets, booze and ... well, you get the idea.

Rest assured, the results will be sloppy, silly and occasionally iambic as the night devolves into inevitable debauchery. [less-]

"The Golden Girls Musical Parody: Pride Edition" is coming to HERE in NYC for three drag-tastic weeks only to celebrate WorldPride, NYC Pride and Stonewall 50. "The New York Times" calls it “Hilariously Outsized!” and "Edge New York" calls it, “Letter perfect. Brilliant!” "TheaterMania" calls it: “A highly irreverent, yet loving send-up of TV’s The Golden Girls that proves to be simultaneously evocative of the greatest moments from the original sitcom and a show with a voice all its own.” The Golden Girls are getting ready for the annual Shady Pines Retirement Home Gay Pride Talent Show when down-on-his-luck guest star Ricky Martin moves in next door. His wild, all-night salsa sessions distract the ladies from getting their much-needed rehearsal. What ensues is a hilarious feud that can only end with one act as the most talented “queens” of Shady Pines. Featuring an original pop score, a 1980s fashion show, and The Ultimate Golden Girls Trivia Challenge. [less-]
