Dorothy Parker (adapted by Shirley Anderson)
Description: 

Dorothy Parker's wickedly funny and unforgiving portrait of a "good time gal" drifting from man to man in a sea of whisky, drowning her loneliness with dreams of an easy escape.

"Big Blonde" - Shirley Anderson's adaptation of Dorothy Parker's 1929 O. Henry Award-winning short story - was originally conjured in smoky and haunted Chicago bars and jazz clubs. In 1995 and 1996, Shirley performed "Big Blonde" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to full houses and great press.

Sacred Fools Winter Sampler

Vitals
Playwright:

Description: 

LISTEN TO THIS
One of our simplest shows is also one of our most engaging. Each month, host Tom Chalmers presents several storytellers, telling true stories from their own lives, all on one topic. December's topic: "Poo Confessions: An Evening of Scatological Stories" (Because we couldn't hold it in any longer!)

MUSIC NIGHT
A tri-annual night of live music, produced & hosted by Babe Hack! Usually a mix of acoustic tunes and full-band rock'n'roll; old classics and original songs. This month, join us for A Very Cozy Acoustic Christmas, including carols, sing-a-longs, and a handful of acerbic tunes to spike the musical eggnog!

TEN TOPS
A Very Eclectic Open Mic. Presented by a rotating series of hosts, ten (or more) performers get up to seven minutes each to do anything they want! Comedy, dramatic readings, dance... it's entirely up to you! Wanna perform? Sign-up starts in the lobby at 7:30pm, the night of the show. Know a performer? Tell 'em to c'mon down and sign up! (Signing up to perform always gets you in free!)
