Follow on Google News | Brat Productions Pops Up at Plays & Players Theatre with The Diary of Lisa QBrat Productions, in association with Plays & Players, brings The Diary of Lisa Q to Plays & Players Theatre (1714 Delancey Place, Philadelphia, PA 19103) this Friday, January 18, 2013 at 6:00pm and Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 2:00pm and 6:00pm.
By: Aversa PR & Events LLC In the vein of Conor McPherson’s monologues, as well as Madi Distefano’s own Popsicle’s Departure, 1989, local theater artists try their hand at depicting the notorious and shadowy story of Lisa Q, a fictional character with a real-life social media presence. Textual, sensual and served throughout the third floor of Plays and Players, this titillating exposé of the dirty personal secrets of a woman who hangs around a seemingly decadent late-night bar might just make you blush. Listen in as theater artists do what they spoof best: gossiping, reading from diaries or just possibly telling the whole truth as they heard it from Lisa herself. Shaggy dog tales fill this parlour performance curated by Madi Distefano and written in collaboration with members of Plays & Players. Actors, directors and writers include Cubby Altobelli, Amanda Atkinson, Lena Barnard, Amanda Damron, Jacquie Goldfinger, TS Hawkins, Messapotamia Lefae, Shoshanna Ruth, Bradley Wrenn and Brat Resident Artist Brian Grace-Duff.
