Jingle Belles & A Few Balls — This Weekend

Tickets are still available for Perishable Theatre’s annual holiday extravaganza and fundraiser — a fun evening of camp, burlesque and sexy door prizes.

Stuck for things to talk about on Thanksgiving? This will kick things off. Perishable Theatre has just announced it is holding auditions for its spring production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

“Deca*Go*Go: The Exquisite Corpse Plays” opens at Perishable Theatre tomorrow.  It’s 10 plays in 90 minutes, which is great both for people with ADD and spouses who hate long plays.  The explanation of Deca*Go*Go is pretty odd: This ninety-minute dreamscape features talking mice, gorgons, soothsayers, gods and goddesses, bowler hats, space aliens, illicit substances, Hindu funerals, …

The evening was hosted by the easily-shocked but never …
