THE WOMAN

by Phil Blue Owl Hooser

June 1 - 4 

It is funny, inspiring, quick, witty and there is only one weekend to see not the movie The Women, but a stunning recreation/tribute by Philip “Blue Owl” Hooser. Not seen since its Late Night Theatre premiere in 2004, this one-man show (with a whole lot of lady parts) will resurface at the Fishtank Performance Studio.
 

Hooser portrays nearly 100 characters, all women, with the help of quite a few hats. … The story revolves around New York City’s 1 percent, as gossip ruins the marriage of Mary Haines with a little help from her frenemy Sylvia Fowler and, of course, Crystal Allen, the girl behind the perfume counter who has her hooks in Mary’s husband.
 

It’s your gay aunt’s Jungle Red -- not the pitiful remake. Known for dialogue that drips with venom, this movie is a significant piece of gay history and Hollywood gossip -- all of which will be revealed, from the feuds to the injury, from the Lavender Mafia to the uncredited screen debut! So, if you can’t see the Spiderman musical, you still might see an actor die on stage.

Performances will be at 8 p.m. June 1-4 at the Fishtank Performance Studio, 1715 Wyandotte St., Kansas City, Mo. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. To pre-purchase the $12 tickets, visit: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/250176

THE NIGHTCAP
