Go Gay at FringeNYC

Abraham Lincoln’s Big Gay Dance Party

With over 200 plays and musicals coming to New York City, I have to admit that I am a a bit daunted by this year’s Fringe festival. Luckily they have this neat feature that groups plays together by theme called Staycations, letting you see only gay plays, ghost plays, or straight dude plays.

But, I figure, why not drink away the overwhelming nature of the theatrical orgy with some cute gay thespians?

In case you’re not on any email lists, allow me to inform you that there will be a big ole gay kickoff to Fringe this coming Sunday at 9PM at Vlada. Hosted by “Gay Pimp” and The Big Gay Sketch Show actor Johnny McGovern, the event promises cheap drinks, live scenes from a selection of a number of fey Fringe productions, and something actually fun to do on a Sunday night.

Curious about the productions (and casts) that will be in the house? I went ahead and grabbed up as much info as I could, including a brief summary of the show, and a link to their web sites.

Read up, commit the titles to memory, buy something cute (that makes you look like a wealthy theatrical investor) and come party at Vlada this Sunday at 9!

America’s Next Top Bottom

Do these boys have what it takes to be America’s Next Top Bottom? Watch as these 7 ass-piring (sorry, couldn’t help it) bottoms attempt to outdress, outbitch, and outsass each other for the crown. Who will get it in the end? YOU decide!

Bitch!

Eccentric Lady May Lawford, mother of 60’s Rat Packer Peter Lawford, and her much younger society entertainer companion Buddy, are the prototypes for Harold and Maude–except they’re part of a real-life murder mystery.
