Frentic Theater • $20.00*
A contemporary gay re-telling of the Dickens classic that delves into the downward spiral of Ben Scrooge and Jake Marley, who were partners in life as well as their interior design business. With Marilyn Monroe as the Ghost of Christmas Past, and Bob Cratchit's partner Tim living with HIV, there are twists aplenty. And yet, this honest and moving adaptation remains surprisingly faithful to the spirit of the original with its sense of wonder and Christmas spirit. Recommended PG13. Adult language and content.
A DELIGHTFUL GENDER-BENDING ROMP!
SHE STOOPS TO COMEDY

Frentic Theater • $20.00*
SHE STOOPS TO COMEDY is a fun loving riff on the spirit of Shakespeare, fracturing time and spatial settings while pushing gender-bending to the hilarious extremes. In AS YOU LIKE IT's most famous speech, the melancholy Jacques gripes that "All the world's a stage and all the men and women are merely players." Greenspan takes that up a notch: "The world's a fuckin' drag show." Whereas Shakespeare often employs gender-bending in times of crisis - AS YOU LIKE IT's Rosalind dresses as a boy upon her exile to the Forest of Arden - Greenspan sees gender as a matter of everyday contrivance, with men and women enactign the roles they think they were meant to perform.
Adult language and content.
