Take a look at all who came out to perform in and support Dykes to Watch Out For - One Night Stand, an Audible adaptation of Alison Bechdel's comic series that performed for one night only at Off-Broadway's Minetta Lane Theatre. The June 23 reading was held in celebration of Pride Month.
The audio series, adapted by playwright and Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George and directed by Tony Award nominee Leigh Silverman, is based on the cult-favorite comic strip from Bechdel. Another graphic work from Bechdel was famously adapted into Jeanine Tesori and Kron's Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home.
Created and performed by Sydney-based comedian and visual artist Sam Kissajukian, the show comes to New York directly from a sold-out engagement at Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
The National Asian American Theatre Company production will give a world premiere to a new modern verse translation of the Shakespeare play from Andrea Thome.
