A LITTLE LESS THAN KIND, written by Gracie Rittenberg and directed by Slaney Rose Jordan, is a new, female-centric adaptation of Shakespeare’s HAMLET. The production’s Hamlet analogue “Hannah”, is the caustic, bisexual heir apparent to Advantage Tech, a monolithic Silicon Valley company. ALLTK explores the complex emotions and antagonism that arise in mother/daughter relationships. While ALLTK adapts HAMLET into the modern day, it also brings the laughs, skewering both Shakespeare’s classic and the tech industry alike.

"TragiComic trans-identifying confessional" and "obscene, irreverent, maniacal burlesque comedian" might seem like incompatible themes, but Vulva Va-Voom has combined much stranger elements onstage. Creepier, stickier, Lovecraftian elements. Gritty nightclub headliner Vulva (they/them) has inhabited some bizarrely imaginative world-building over the years...but that world is still impacted by politics and culture. Who gets to define whether someone is a drag queen, drag king, or an in-between? Vulva has mostly appeared hyper-femme throughout their onstage song-and-dance career...but why? (Mostly a matter of practicality, given that spirit-gummed facial hair and latex nipples are indescribably annoying to scrape off at 4am.) But does femme presentation invalidate nonbinary credibility? As the comedian executes a live “female drag to male drag” transition onstage, they explore labels, identity, and their own real-world experience. More introspective and intimate than Va-Voom & Co.’s usual off-the-charts level of raucous debauchery, this piece combines Vaudeville with Weimar, vulnerability with absurdity, authenticity with farce, and— as usual— absinthe with uppers.

Sin-eating is a ritual older than Jesus. It’s been practiced across the globe, but the iteration I will be practicing comes from 17th century Wales. In essence, you eat a meal off the chest of a dead person, and, in doing so, you absorb their sins. The deceased can thus transition peacefully, free from the weight of their mortal wrongdoings. Calgary has not yet died, so instead of eating off her corpse, I’ll be meditating on her spirit—and internalizing her sins—as I eat this Taco Bell. *** K is a recent grad looking for fast cash and moral purity. Calgary is a dykebaiting pop star who can’t stop getting canceled. TikTok is a social media app for short-form video content.

"TragiComic trans-identifying confessional" and "obscene, irreverent, maniacal burlesque comedian" might seem like incompatible themes, but Vulva Va-Voom has combined much stranger elements onstage. Creepier, stickier, Lovecraftian elements. Gritty nightclub headliner Vulva (they/them) has inhabited some bizarrely imaginative world-building over the years...but that world is still impacted by politics and culture. Who gets to define whether someone is a drag queen, drag king, or an in-between? Vulva has mostly appeared hyper-femme throughout their onstage song-and-dance career...but why? (Mostly a matter of practicality, given that spirit-gummed facial hair and latex nipples are indescribably annoying to scrape off at 4am.) But does femme presentation invalidate nonbinary credibility? As the comedian executes a live “female drag to male drag” transition onstage, they explore labels, identity, and their own real-world experience. More introspective and intimate than Va-Voom & Co.’s usual off-the-charts level of raucous debauchery, this piece combines Vaudeville with Weimar, vulnerability with absurdity, authenticity with farce, and— as usual— absinthe with uppers.

After winning the Encore Producers Award at HOLLYWOOD FRINGE in Los Angeles this past summer, and selling out its run at LONDON’S CAMDEN FRINGE to great reviews, Hal Cantor’s THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ANXIOUS brings the angst to where it truly belongs: New York City. Featuring the voice of RICKI LAKE, Hal’s raw, honest, if often painfully hilarious look at himself, is a coming-of-middle-age comedy about coming out late (some might say ‘very late’), among other anxiety-producing triggers and tribulations. Directed by award-winning London theater artist, Ralph Bogard, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ANXIOUS — by its very form — demonstrates theater’s unique ability to reflect life back to us, with humor and heart. And lots of gay sex.

A MUST WATCH.” What audience members from San Francisco Fringe had to say (August 2023): - “the cathartic, acerbic Ted Talk so many of us need but precious few of us ever get” - “one of those performances that’ll keep you thinking and feeling way after you’ve left the theater” - “a funny, sassy, poignant one-woman harangue” Please note that all New York City Fringe shows begin at the time stated on your reservation and that we cannot guarantee late seating.

Sin-eating is a ritual older than Jesus. It’s been practiced across the globe, but the iteration I will be practicing comes from 17th century Wales. In essence, you eat a meal off the chest of a dead person, and, in doing so, you absorb their sins. The deceased can thus transition peacefully, free from the weight of their mortal wrongdoings. Calgary has not yet died, so instead of eating off her corpse, I’ll be meditating on her spirit—and internalizing her sins—as I eat this Taco Bell. *** K is a recent grad looking for fast cash and moral purity. Calgary is a dykebaiting pop star who can’t stop getting canceled. TikTok is a social media app for short-form video content. And Sonnets from a Sin-Eater is a multimedia solo play about desire, absolution, and detoxifying diets.

We bring experts and enthusiastic amateurs together to explore history’s overlooked and under-told stories, from legends of lost cities to masters of art forgery, engineering failures to murderous sideshow performers, daring heists, questionable taxidermy, and tales of epic revenge. Sometimes with stick figures. Founded in San Francisco, in 2014 by Annetta Black, Tre Balchowsky, and Rachel James, Odd Salon is inspired by the salonnières of the Enlightenment, the illustrated lectures of the Victorian period, and a strong desire to tell weird stories in good company. After several years of hosting salons in San Francisco, in 2018 we expanded to add a new chapter in New York City. We are a community project, centered around a Fellowship of speakers and an extended family of Members, and we have partnered with amazing organizations including the California Historical Society, the Long Now Foundation, the California Academy of Sciences, the tall ships of the Grey’s Harbor Historical Seaport, and the Exploratorium science museum. As a community-focused and mission-driven organization dedicated to the diffusion of unusual knowledge, we are proud to be a membership supported, fiscally sponsored project of the InterCulture Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Friends, foes, fools! Do you ever bemoan the fact that the 884,647 words William Shakespeare wrote have been performed already? Do you yearn for the experience of seeing The Bard's works for the first time? Then celebrate the glad tidings of As You Will and our Unscripted Shakespeare Show! These Shakespearean Scholars are here to present all the monumental works the immortal Bard would've written if he hadn't gone and died. With just the title given by the audience the players of As You Will bring a Shakespearean comedy to life complete with Shakspeare's themes, language, poetic verse, and some scholarly footnotes thrown in for good measure. As You Will have performed such classics as "Eight Merry Spiders," "That Doth Not Go There," "1601: A Space Odyssey'' and though those shows will never be seen again, there’s always a Shakespearean world premiere in our makeshift Globe Theatre.
