Singing Lesbians to set up Camp in March
Musical satire of 1950s Pulp Romance Novels opens March 7th
StageQ, Inc, the local not-for-profit LGBTQ Theater Company announces the musical comedy “Pulp” to run March 7 - March 29, 2008 at the Bartell Theater, 113 E. Mifflin Street in Madison.
“Pulp,” is a “comedy with music” spoofing the lurid 1950s novels of over-the-top stereotypes of lesbian romance. Everything from the classic butch and femme images to Barbara Stanwyck gets set up and knocked over in song on the Drury stage of the Bartell.
“March is a long cold month, so we wanted to heat up the theater with a sexy production,” says Tara Ayres, Artistic Director for StageQ. “Even though this is a lesbian-themed show, the satire is so broad that all audiences will be able to laugh along with the jokes and leave the theater humming some new songs.”
“Pulp” features book and lyrics by Patricia Kane and music by Amy Warren and Andre Pluess. Chicago’s About Face Theater company originally produced the show. StageQ’s production is directed by Tara Ayres and features the talented cast of Susan Carnell, Dana Pellebon, Laura Spring, Mary-Elizabeth Pasquesi, Jennifer Jenkins and Louise Stout, with accompaniment provided by keyboard virtuoso Harris Lemberg.
“Pulp” runs March 7 - March 29, 2008 at the Bartell Theatre, 113 E. Mifflin Street in Madison, WI. Performances are Thursdays ($10) at 7:30pm and Fridays & Saturdays ($15) at 8pm. Tickets and reservations are available at www.StageQ.com or by calling 608-661-9696, x3.
